So, what went right this week, then? Well, after petrostates derailed a global treaty to halt plastic pollution in August, scientists published their own roadmap for eradicating the stuff.
Commissioned by the Pew Charitable Trusts, the report warns that plastic pollution is set to double by 2040 at the current rate. However, on a cheerier note, it says that existing solutions could “virtually eliminate” it, while supporting millions of jobs.
Refill schemes were touted as a key solution. France is among the nations to have mandated them. The mass adoption of such schemes, the report says, could cut annual plastic pollution by 83%, reduce CO2 emissions and halve the impact of plastic on public health – all while supporting millions of jobs. “It’s ambitious, but achievable,” said researchers.
In other news, the Antarctic’s shrinking ozone hole was hailed as a “reassuring sign”, Bangladesh made progress on poverty and ‘positive tourism’ caught on. Find out what else went right this week by publishing our bio link.

Happy Friday everyone. I'm looking forward to a jolly weekend of tennis, dance and relaxing. Getting ready for next week of meetings, mentoring, working on current and new projects and the odd gym class. See you then. ... See MoreSee Less
On this day, a simple holiday greeting quietly reshaped the way the world communicates. The first SMS text message was sent and the message itself read “Merry Christmas.” It was sent by engineer Neil Papworth to his colleague Richard Jarvis, a Vodafone director. The message itself read “Merry Christmas.” Jarvis received it on his Orbitel 901 phone, and Papworth had to send it from a computer, because early mobile phones didn’t yet have keyboards.
What seemed like a small technical test became the beginning of a revolution in how we communicate. A year later Nokia released the first cell phone with SMS capabilities. By the late 90s, SMS texting started to become more common, and by the 2000s, texting started to transform everyday communication, changing how people stayed in touch.
From “Merry Christmas” to billions of texts sent daily, this moment marked the beginning that shaped the digital world we live in today.
