The World Is Changing For The Better

When it feels like everything is falling apart, there’s actually plenty to be optimistic about.

WE CAN DELAY CLIMATE CHANGE

If we continue to work hard to increase solar, wind, and electric energy costs, we can fulfill the planet’s energy needs by about 2037. This is a message we need to spread, pushing governments and the financial sector to seize the opportunity the way we did during World War II. We tend to forget how good America has been at dealing with emergencies. The first step is treating the climate crisis like one.

THE HOMELESS ARE GETTING HOMES

Housing First, an organization which goes against the conventional order that homelessness is solved by giving people jobs which, in turn gets them money and shelter, grants access to homes as the first step. They moved over 1,000 people off the streets of Atlanta in 2013, and since 2015 homelessness has decreased by 25 percent. Around the world, Housing First is getting thousands of people off the streets- proving homelessness can be reduced.

TOUGH TIMES BRING SOCIAL GOOD

While it might seem that the country has never been worse off, we must make it a point to remember that the founding fathers felt that way too- disease was out of control; inequity and corruption were prevalent- and they viewed it as an opportunity for change. That was the reason why the colonists rebelled. Maybe we can begin to feel that way today.

DEATHS FROM NATURAL DISASTERS HAVE DECREASED

If you look at the numbers, you will realize we are much better off than we were 100 years ago. When severe weather, landslides and floods used to happen, we were far less prepared. We are also better at predicting when disaster will strike, allowing us to take measures to protect ourselves. The numbers reveal that we are skilled at finding solutions to big problems and that we can do it when we work together.

MENTAL HEALTH CARE IS ON THE RISE

It looks like the tech world has begun to take mental health seriously. A few years ago, there was a decline in well- being and a steep increase in anxiety. Part of this May have been related to social media. Now it seems like people have begun to share their insecurities and traumas on social media. Instead of showing only their best selves online and retreating into silence, they’re genuinely connecting both digitally and in person. They want to talk about their anxiety and depression with others.

We shouldn’t wait one more day to spark a change. We are stronger when we take care of ourselves together.
