Hi Beth,
I have seen, at some point in the past ten years, some sort of good news list. I cannot remember the source though I suspect it came over the Canadian Association of Geographers discussion list (you could post a query here: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . However, like one of your suggestions (better access to clean water), I remember finding at the time that the list only hailed purely anthropocentric improvements. As far as the state of the non-human world is concerned, I have the overwhelming sense that things are, across the board, going from bad to worse. I’d be happy to be proven wrong and look forward to your sharing your findings. Cheers, Bill From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Beth DeSombre Sent: April 6, 2019 11:31 AM To: GEP-Ed List <[email protected]> Subject: [gep-ed] Good environmental trends Hi folks: This seems like a no brainer, but I'm having a surprisingly difficult time gathering a list of positive environmental trends (worldwide and over history). Things that have -- because of human intervention -- unquestionably improved, with some specific details to hang on them. Things like improved access to clean water, better air quality (of various types) in many parts of the world, etc. I'd like to not reinvent the wheel -- I could easily come up with a list of things I think are better now environmentally than 50 (or 25) years ago and go fetch the details of each, but I'm certain that one or more sources has already outlined them, with specifics attached. Can someone point me towards such lists/overviews/compilations? (Happy to share suggestions with the group afterwards).
