Today’s Top Good News Story

Trials for the world’s first-ever lung cancer vaccine just launched across eight countries

Doctors have now started trials for the world’s first lung cancer vaccine in patients. Experts say it has “groundbreaking” potential to save thousands of lives from the world’s leading cause of cancer death, with about 1.8 million deaths every year.

The new vaccine uses similar mRNA technology as the COVID-19 vaccines — it instructs the body to find and kill cancer cells and prevents them from ever coming back.

About 130 patients in eight countries will participate in the trial, and the vaccine targets non-small cell lung cancer, the most common form of the disease.

Solar-powered generators are pulling water “from thin air” and providing clean water to communities in need. The generators use a heat exchange and condensation method to capture water, and a filtration and sanitization process makes it safe to drink for humans.

China has cut new coal power plant permits by nearly 80% in the first half of 2024. The country’s combined wind and solar capacity of 11.8 terawatts also exceeded coal capacity for the first time and made up 84.2% of all new grid-connected capacity.

Two states just became the first in the U.S. to ban the use of toxic “forever chemicals” in firefighter gear. PFAS make their gear resistant to water and heat, but it’s estimated that cancer from that gear accounted for 66% of firefighter deaths from 2002 to 2019.

[Related: For the same reason, a city in California went PFAS-free for its firefighter gear, too.]

Looking for the Helpers

High school students are using lunch drives and free doughnuts to encourage their eligible classmates to vote

With 8 million high school students eligible to vote in the 2024 general election in November, an organization is helping high schoolers host voter registration drives.

New Voters is a nonpartisan nonprofit that connects high school students who are passionate about civic engagement with the resources to help engage their classmates, too.

In 2017, the organization’s founder, Jahnavi Rao registered 85% of eligible voters at her high school. Since 2018, New Voters has registered over 80,000 high schoolers to vote across 400 high schools in 39 states.

And they’re not slowing down — they’ve already helped over 2,000 drive leaders and volunteers, who recruit others in subsequent years and election cycles.

They could have something to do with the fact that voter participation among young people is trending upward: Gen Z voters turned out at higher rates during their first midterm elections in 2022 than previous generations.
