It’s the last Friday of the month–time again for some good news to take you into November with a smile.
The story I chose for this month is one I hope we’ll see repeated often in the years to come. It involves an ingenious solution to the problem of plastics in the world’s oceans. Take a minute to read it–I think you’ll find it fascinating.

Here’s how #WATWB works: On the last Friday of each month a number of bloggers participate in a blog hop in which each blogger highlights a story that spreads good news, happiness, and hope.
These are the cohosts for this month: Shilpa Garg, Sylvia McGrath, Mary Giese, Belinda Witzenhausen, and Guilie Castillo. Click on the name of the cohost (if in bold) to visit his or her blog.

Isn’t it amazing what people can do with a little (or a lot) of ingenuity? I’d love to see this kind of engineering combined with the tactics organizations are using to trap the oceans’ plastics. We could do so much to increase the health of the oceans.

There are good news stories out there–the trouble is that you have to actively look for the good ones while the bad news stories are everywhere you look. That’s part of the reason I love this last-Friday-of-the-month blog hop! Thanks for dropping in.

Very interesting! I wonder how much plastic it takes to make a huge highway like we have across the U.S.
Road construction or Re-construction never ends!
Enjoy your weekend, Amy.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could take the plastics from the ocean and use it to rebuild some of the huge roads in the US? That would be a great way to start to clean up the oceans! Thanks for stopping by!
