Colorado artist ordered by police to stop stacking rocks under an obscure city ordinance. When he protested online, the city attorney called him personally to let him know that he had told police to not give out tickets for rock stacking. This is why power doesn’t reside with any one person. 🙂 A happy ending.
When fifth-graders saw a special needs boy being bullied, they helped him, and from then on, befriended him and have protected him from bullies. There’s an article and a video; it’s a really sweet story showing the absolute best in people.
Baltimore schools have removed paperwork requirements in schools with high poverty rates, so now every child can get free breakfast and lunch. Children should not have to go hungry; I just hope more schools jump on board with this.
IKEA pledges a billion dollars to help with climate change. IKEA has always been about using sustainable materials and less waste, so this is just another thing they’re doing to help. Corporations can sound good, but IKEA puts their money toward positive change.
