News Worth Knowing About
Some news gets more attention than other news.
Especially in today’s political climate. Politicians and policies are sucking
up the air, as they should, given what news media sources are uncovering. These
are important issues; especially because they are so intimately linked to what
our country needs to stay afloat (healthy and alive).
But what about the other
news stories? The ones that don’t
make it to ‘big time’ media?
Here are a few pieces of news that you may not have
heard about:
Ocean cleanup can reduce plastics
It is
estimated that more than four trillion pieces of plastic are floating or have
already sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The Ocean Cleanup Project has plans to
remove 40% of that plastic over the next decade by using an operating system
that is powered by ocean currents.
Decline in homeless of US Veterans

Good News Network, veteran homeless has been reduced by 50 percent in the last
seven years. This is the result of hard work between a variety of government
agencies and all suggest more programs like this will be developed.
Juno’s trek made it to Jupiter
NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew 800,000,000 miles to explore
Jupiter’s radiation belts. The data collected could provide details about how
the planet and the solar system it belongs to formed. Who knows what we could
learn from that?
Ebola Vaccine could be perfect
Newsweek reporters write that a new Ebola vaccine
shows a 100% percent protection rate. It is possible that this could help curb
the number of those infected to approximately 28,000. Such trials could end
what is now considered to be one of the worst epidemics in recent history.
50 Million trees in just one day

volunteers were able to plant 50 million trees in just one day. These
80-different species of trees are part of the country’s Paris Climate
Conference effort to reforest the land.
