In the midst of what may seem like only bad news and more bad news, enjoy these ten examples of what Solutions Journalism Network calls “hope with teeth -- not naive assumptions everything will resolve perfectly, but awareness of the scope of the problem and potential solutions, along with a belief in the possibility of better outcomes rooted in action.” They include clergy finding creative ways to reduce polarization in their congregations; women in Nigeria building self-esteem and gender equality; peace through mediation; waste warriors in India and many more. These stories are an important reminder that “terrible things are happening in the world, but not everything that happened this year was terrible.”
