Reduced Plastic Use & Recycling:
- People have been becoming increasingly aware of the problems plastic presents and are quickly acting to solve it. For example, the largest ocean cleanup initiative in the world has been created. In addition to creating excellent cleanup tech, this project has massive goals. They will clean up the entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just 10 years! Previously scientists had projected this would take thousands of years.
- People’s awareness of one use plastic has also greatly increased. Starbucks & McDonald’s quit using plastic straws. Australia saw an 80% reduction in single-use plastic bags in just 3 months!
Ocean Systems
- The world’s second largest coral reef was removed from the endangered places list. Thanks to Dr. David Vaughan’s groundbreaking discovery, we can expect hope for many reefs in the future. The good doctor discovered a way to make coral grow 40 times faster than in the wild!
- The UK also placed a ban on micro-bead usage in cosmetics. These little things are terrible for nature in quite a few ways. The worlds largest shipping company also committed to becoming 100% renewable over the next few decades! This is great news for shipping vessels & the environment.
Land Preservation
- Legislation is being passed all over the world to preserve more & more wildlife. There are also many companies taking tree planting initiatives. China has plans to plant forests the size of Ireland. A 20 year old from Germany has been planting trees since he was 9 & has helped plant 1 million trees total! He & the organization he created have plans to plant 1 trillion more!
Renewable Energy
- There is now a new kind of wind turbine which can generate energy from apartment balconies. Another company has successfully recycled sewage into a zero-carbon alternative to coal! They have actually already started selling this resource to power companies already.

So, as you can see, there are plenty of reasons to be enthusiastic for 2019 & the years ahead! We are making progress, and we are listening when the climate scientists speak!
