Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and this year’s theme is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” — with a call to action for all of us to “Start the Conversation” to reduce stigma and encourage open dialogue to prevent suicides.
And the data shows it really does help: Our friends at Crisis Text Line found that asking hard, vulnerable questions can open the door to a conversation that could save a lot of lives.

Finland is building the world’s largest heat pump to warm 30,000 homes and reduce carbon emissions
Finland’s capital Helsinki is building the world’s largest heat pump to help warm as many as 30,000 homes in the winter. Powered only by renewable energy sources, the heat pump can operate in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
This project is part of the city’s larger effort to become carbon-neutral by 2030, switching a big portion of its energy consumption to a renewable source.
When complete, the heat pump will provide 200 GWh of heat for 30,000 homes in Helsinki annually, roughly saving 26,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

A Nigerian teenager invented a pair of glasses to help visually impaired people
Looking to help the many people in his hometown who are blind or visually impaired, 18-year-old Khalifa Aminu put his penchant for invention to work.
He got to work creating a pair of “sensory glasses” that can help those with visual impairments walk safely and independently — without the use of a cane.
The glasses use “ultrasonic and infrared sensors” to detect when something is coming near the wearer, and then activate an alarm to alert them.
While Aminu’s glasses are still in development (and getting tested and feedback from people in real life who could benefit from them), he’s received interest from the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities to learn more.
