An update

Hi Earthlings! It’s Tuesday again, the day we share climate stories that give us hope. We started Good News Tuesday a couple of years ago to combat negativity bias in climate media when one of our founders, Max Moinian, noticed that a ton of good news never makes the front page when it totally should. Since then we’ve collected stories every week highlighting efforts underway to mitigate and protect our communities from worsening climate change, and boosting a range of voices in climate innovation, conservation, and stewardship.

This has taught us two things:
1. There’s a lot of good climate news out there. Every week there are dozens of stories published about climate wins happening around the world. That adds up quickly.
2. Community keeps us going. You make Good News Tuesday feel like a group chat with our fav climate besties. It’s one of our biggest sources of hope.

With all that being said, we’re taking a little break from publishing Good News Tuesday on Instagram while we make some design updates. But don’t worry, we’ll continue to share some of our favorite climate stories via this weekly newsletter.
