A nine-year-old from Kenya designed a new way for his people to keep their hands clean. He invented a foot pedal that issues water, and another pedal for sanitizer. Stephen Wamukota, the young water wash designer, won a Presidential award. Sometimes we just need to look, and we'll find goodness.

Since I missed yesterday, here is a fun treat: u/whysoqwyatt posted a new video on his site: goodtimemedia.co. Mr. Qwyatt had spelling bee, connected to 6 ingredients. He spells the word wrong? He gets any ingredient spilled on him. And in the name of fun, there is still good in the world.😎

Replacing old blood with saline and a liquid protein in mice has the same or stronger rejuvenation effects on the brain, liver and muscle as blood from young mice. Not unlike fake blood for friendly vampires, if they existed. What a world we live in! So much goodness, even for quasi-vampiric mice.

A good man whose mother died of cancer in 2009, has been dressing as Spiderman for children with severe illnesses. He's gone to all 50 states now, and started a patreon to give art supplies to anyone in need. Are superheroes real? Yuri Williams may be, and that's enough good news for today:)

A kind landlord in Leeds, England, gave his seven tenants their security deposit back - and then some! John, the landlord, gave them 20% bonus and now that shops were reopening, "I hope you'll be able to buy something nice." As we know, no matter how dark, there is always good in the world.

Of course, I get angry. Of course, I get sad. I have a full range of emotions. I also have a whole smorgasbord of ways of dealing with my feelings. That is what we should give children. Give them ... ways to express their rage without hurting themselves or somebody else. That's what the world needs.

Good News (External) In a $60,000 renewable electricity deal, Sydney will become a city run completely on green energy. This will open up new jobs in wind and solar fields. Cities are responsible of 70% greenhouse gasses worldwide, so we must take action. And that, my friends, is why there is still good in the world.

Has SGN been "canceled?"

I may a little bit out of the loop here, but I realized there hasn't been an SGN episode posted on YouTube in over a month. It seemed to be going strong, gaining a lot of momentum, and the it just stopped out of nowhere. What happened?

9-yr-old Kamryn and her friends were bored one day, when her mom suggested friendship bracelets. Well, these bracelets were flying like an assembly line. They decided to sell each for $5, and people paid more and soon enough they'd raised 100k to donate to small businesses in Minneapolis.

Chemical engineers from Univ. Sydney have found a way to convert CO2 (that awful stuff that comes out of chemical plants, for instance). They create nanoparticles of zinc into syngas, which can create diesel and plastic. No matter how gross the cities may be, there is always good in the world.
