Good on you Tom!
3 Himalayas Become Visible Again
The Himalayas become visible for the first time in years. Locals in the Punjab region of India have had their first sighting of the Himalayas for the first time in decades due to reduced pollution levels since India enforced their Covid-19 lockdown.
Pollution levels have dropped massively around the globe, with Delhi alone seeing a decrease of 44% in air pollution in the first day of the lockdown. In the UK, wildflowers and wildlife is thriving with the decrease in pollution levels.
4 Run For Heroes
The Run For Heroes campaign which encourages people to run 5k, donate £5 and then tag 5 of their friends to do the same has been sweeping social media over the past few weeks. The challenge has been taken up by celebrities as well as the general public and has the dual positive effect of raising money for charity and keeping people fit!
The initiative is raising valuable funds for NHS charities across the UK, having raised nearly £5 million already!
5 Some Good News
John Krasinski sets up his “Some Good News” YouTube channel. The star of the US version of The Office has set up a YouTube channel featuring positive news to keep people entertained. The channel has already racked up over 2 million subscribers and has featured celebrity cameos from the likes of Brad Pitt delivering the weather as well as The Office co-star Steve Carrell.
If you’re a fan of The Office or just positive news, then I’d highly recommend the channel!
