Italian illustrator and designer Mauro Gatti wanted to spread some joy and positivity, so he started a rather interesting project last year. Fed up with all the bad news we receive every day, he started illustrating the best news he found in order to show people there are still so many good things in the world.

“We are often bombarded with fear-mongering and shocking headlines that make us feel that the world is falling apart”, the Los Angeles-based artist shared on Bored Panda. “However, while it’s important to report on problems and issues, I believe there is so much good in this world that it needs to be found and promoted just as widely.”

The cafe, situated in Ambikapur, which bagged the title of the second cleanest city in India, will provide free food in exchange for plastic waste. The concept of this cafe is that people can get their plastic waste weighed and enjoy a warm meal in return. "When I got to know about this cafe, I started collecting and storing plastic waste from my house. This is a great initiative to make the citizens aware to keep the city plastic-free. Through this initiative we can get two benefits, first, we can keep our vicinity clean and second, we can get delicious food in exchange for plastic waste," said a resident. The plastic waste collected by the people coming here is ultimately sent to the Municipal Corporation for recycling.

Gatti illustrates all the good news he finds and then shares this art on his Instagram account called The Happy Broadcast. As he says, “we need more positive news to acknowledge that the world is actually getting better little by little”.

If you agree with this and you need a bit of inspiring and positive news for the end of this year, make sure to check out his Instagram page and read some of the best news from 2019.

You all know how much I love Africa and it’s strong and fierce people and this is another example of strength and love. Theresa Kachindamoto (so formidable, she has been nicknamed “The Terminator”!) was determined to take a stand against the tradition which took teenage girls and made them wives and mothers long before the age of 18. Kachindamoto used her chief role to nullify more than 1500 child marriages since 2017, sending the girls who were married off before being able to complete their education back to school. She took a bold step towards ending poverty in Malawi, where a 2017 UN statistic suggested that about 45% of young girls are unable to remain in school past eighth grade. Because of bold and brave leadership like this things may start to change. Art by the talented @samanthacurcio .

Billie Eilish fans will be able to earn free tickets to her upcoming tour by helping to fight climate change. The pop star is set to head out on her ‘Where Do We Go’ arena tour next year, which will conclude with four shows at Londons O2 Arena in July. Eilish said: “I teamed up with a great organisation called Global Citizen to help come up with a way to earn tickets to the ‘Where Do We Go’ tour.” The ‘Bad Guy’ artist then directed those interested to her own Global Citizen page, which offers further details on fighting issues such as plastic pollution, global warming, and climate change. Following the announcement of the dates, Eilish detailed how she plans to make her time on the road as eco-friendly as possible. The shows will also feature a ‘Billie Eilish Eco-Village’, an area where fans can learn about climate change and the importance of making a difference.

About 14 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year and plastic never fully break down. They fragment into smaller pieces called microplastics. In a new study, scientists describe a new type of nanotechnology that could help: tiny magnetic "nano-coils" that create chemical reactions in order to break down microplastics in the ocean. The process converts the plastic into carbon dioxide and water. Nano-tech refers to anything smaller than one billionth of a meter, or half the width of a human hair, the process converts the plastic pieces into harmless salt compounds, Co2, and water.

A new gene editing technique called prime editing, tested in human and mouse cells, rewrites DNA by only cutting a single strand to add, remove, or replace base pairs. The method may allow researchers to edit more types of genetic mutations than existing genome-editing approaches such as CRISPR-Cas9. The technology, called prime editing, has been described as a "genetic word processor" able to accurately re-write the genetic code. It has been used to correct damaging mutations in the lab, including those that cause sickle cell anaemia. The team at the Broad Institute say it is "very versatile and precise", but stress the research is only starting.
