Good News

[adrina]

Sometimes I'm just really sick and tired of the endless stream of bad or troubling news. It's all over the place. Hell, the news companies wouldn't have much business if they only peddled good news - the nature of humanity and society and all that jazz. Whether it's the circus of 45, our government, our world, our healthcare ad nauseum. Sometimes I just want some good news, dammit.

Cop Buys Shirt & Tie for Shoplifter's Job Interview

An 18 year old was caught shoplifting a shirt and a tie from a Walmart.

Upon talking with the perpetrator, however, Jeyanesan discovered that the man had tried to steal the products in order to prepare for a job interview that he had on Tuesday. Without any resources or finances to his name, the man felt that shoplifting was his only option.

When the young man was released without any charges, Jeyanesan then secretly bought the clothes and gave them to the youth for his job interview

“This young person has been facing his own difficulties in life and he was looking to straighten out all that by providing for his family and trying to get a job,” Jeyanesan told CP24 News..

I hope he got the job.

Biodegradable cigarette filters grow into plants

I don't smoke anymore, but when I did I hated that so many treated the world as their ashtray.

Their handmade filters are 100% organic, biodegradable, and non-addictive, and are sold alongside a similarly improved book of rolling papers. When disposed of, the butt degrades in a matter of days and gives root to basil, New Zealand lawn grass, rosemary, or thyme.

In addition to being better for the environment, the filters are healthier for the smoker, because they are not exposed to the chemical-infused paper used by larger tobacco companies.

The Roys also employ roughly two dozen employees – most of which are women – from local villages to help make, package, and distribute Karma Tips. All the packaging used for the products are created locally, thus stimulating small village economies.
