Reasons to be positive about our world

Good things are happening in the world, it’s just that we don’t always hear about them.

Here’s our celebration of the incredible positive developments to remind you of the good in the world.

*In 35 years, people living under extreme poverty has declined by 67%

*Since 1990, the number of children who die before the age of 5 has fallen by 50%

*The number of people with access to drinking water has increased by 2 billion since 1990

*Since 2005 the number of internet users has grown 400% in developing countries.

*Since 1990, the number of people who suffer from hunger has decreased by 39%

We have made amazing progress, but there is so much more to be done. Let’s direct our energy to saving our planet, fighting inequality and advancing human potential.

We know we can, so… let’s do it! Fear feeds hate, while progress motivates. Do you agree? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
