Today’s Top Good News Story

For the first time in history, the Olympic Village will have a nursery for athletes with children

Thanks to the advocacy of Allyson Felix — the most decorated track and field athlete in history — the Olympic Village will be home to its first-ever nursery.

Felix acknowledged “how difficult it was to compete at the top level” after having her daughter,” and sees the nursery as “a shift in the culture” for women athletes — proving they can choose to become parents and continue to compete at the highest level.

The nursery includes a designated space for childcare, as well as access to diapers, wipes, and other essentials. And it’s another way the Paris 2024 Games are making history by caring for its athletes.

Even more good: Outside of sports, Felix has long been an advocate for parents — especially moms. Most recently, she received a $20 million grant from the Melinda French Gates Foundation to put toward Black maternal health.

This new toilet paper just might save the planet

Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper.

That felt like way too many, so honeycomb created luxury 3-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end TP, but doesn’t harm trees.

Why bamboo? It’s the fastest-growing plant in the world, growing 100x faster than the average tree. That means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it would take a single tree to grow back.

Biodegradable and always 100% plastic-free, they deliver straight to you.

A Denver nonprofit is giving $10,000 grants to help women purchase their first home. Since 2021, Project I See You has awarded 70 grants to Colorado women — but demand has skyrocketed and it’s working to continue meeting it.

A wind farm developer is using advanced floating radar technology to prevent bird collisions. Ecowende is working to reduce the number of bird collisions with turbines in its new offshore wind farm in the Netherlands.

Good Quote of the Week

“Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it's unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope.”
Noam Chomsky
