[@Imjustacatlady]

A good news channel is what this platform needs. You're gonna be a 🌟

[@itsSamBentley]

Aww thank you!

[@PerfectionHunter]

02:19 This guy, the biggest Troll, litterally has me in Tears 🤣 "Yeah, our hunters sux so much that wildlife is recovering in this enormous area we control" LMAO! Good man, Good man! 👏🤣

[@mae_synodic]

every video you make ends with me crying happy tears, you have no idea how much anxiety all these beautiful stories relieve from me each time thank you for the effort you go through to make all these, it’s easy to see how much time and love this would take to keep making 💛💛

[@itsSamBentley]

It's comments like this that make the effort all worth it ❤️

[@thoughtsofananon]

I was feeling a bit down tonight, so I thought I'd revisit your good news of 2023 video, but that was before I saw this. With everything focused on terrible news, someone like you is what people need.

[@pendolinofan643]

The saddest things about this world is the news, thank you so much for making my News better! 🌲🌿❤️

[@elive19]

Thank you for making these videos! It’s really important to show the good progress we’ve made, but recognize ways that we still need to improve! I thought the one about the connection between native wildflowers and insect populations with the solar farms really cool!

[@itsSamBentley]

You’re welcome and couldn’t agree more!

[@Edaryion]

Thank you for another video of positive & thriling environmental progress, Sam!

[@itsSamBentley]

Thanks Elodin!

[@VisualRealms908]

Watching your videos has been really inspiring I talk with people all day about the environment for work and your content really helps me fight the gloom and doom we normally see. It's also sparked massive in-depth conversations at work so thank you for that!

[@itsSamBentley]

Oh no way, well I'm glad it can be a springboard for discussions!

[@sarahjaneross2918]

I love January... our area becomes so quiet and barhed in winter hues ❤

[@petrieberries]

Your hair and skin and outlook on life feels so healthy. Fabulous

[@anahithovhannisyan8954]

I love these! They're exactly what we all need in the middle of all this chaos.

[@kristencurtis7031]

So happy you'll be doing a monthly good news video!!! Loved your 2023 good news roundup. Instant sub! Thank you for what you're doing!

[@prakirthgovardhanam6949]

Loved every minute of it! Especially the Bears & wolves conservation and the storm troopers clip was hilarious!😂 Mexican wolf story brought tears of happiness!🥹 thank you and please keep doing this updates!❤ love and strength to you 🤗

[@gabrielneves6602]

Jokes of my other comment aside, knowing that my country, my beloved BELOVED Brazil is one of the leading countries on renewable energy, makes happier than n can really tell man

[@MegaN00dle]

I'm very happy to have found you. Good news with terribly corny jokes sprinkled through. I love it 😅

[@itsSamBentley]

Happy you’re here! I can confirm the wrap was eaten by me afterwards, no food waste here 😂

[@Transcend710]

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm like tearing up with a lot of this news. I'm so thankful to see all the good happening in the world!

[@originalbuzz5618]

Very warming to hear positivity at this time of year, particularly with regards to ecological issues. It’s encouraging in the face of the regular news feeds on mainstream media

[@itsSamBentley]

I try to add some balance to what's persistently pushed out there!

[@magdam1508]

I'm so glad my country Poland is on that list!

[@itsSamBentley]

Looks like such a beautiful country!

[@magdam1508]

The forests here are absolutely breathtaking ❤ I'm really happy they'll be more protected

[@chocolatepancake501]

Me too!

[@seaheartundone]

I want to thank you for posting this. I started following you on TikTok and learned of your KZbin from there. This really helps me feel less anxious. Feels like I barely see good news these days.

[@harleycookie3794]

Just tired of negative news… this helped me hope. Positive still on earth. Thank you

[@applesauce_0743]

I love this channel! Some good environmental/climate news is just what I need to remind myself that not all is dark in the world, and we still can have a positive impact that adds up to a greater whole.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Always ready for the good news!

[@itsSamBentley]

Here he is!

[@NikkiKavanagh68]

Always love seeing your video's Sam. So many amazing ideas have seen the light of day through you. I loved the flower gardens hanging above the streets in Spain wasn't it? I'm doing my bit to try to help the planet by encouraging green burials (I work as a Death Doula), and campaign against embalming. Most people don't even realise you do not have to be embalmed. We are seeing so many more people going back to the land in Ireland, seeing this and all the amazing things happening around the world give me hope, so my humble thanks for that. Now we just need a million more Sams in the world 😂❤. I'm going to see if i can get one of the large hair salon chains here to get involved in the hair campaign!!

[@pagejohnson3778]

Randomly came across during a sleepless night/ morning. I needed a little of this energy and brightness of positive impacts ❤ definitely will loop back

[@itsSamBentley]

Hope it helped Page and you get some better rest tonight!

[@arich20]

This is one of only two things on the internet I allow to send me notifications. Thank you.

[@mariannetfinches]

Excellent video. I loved the Indian ambulance & Canadian hunting stories! I've been supporting the stop cambo (rosebank) campaign for a few months. Seeing success stories helps motivate us to keep going with these battles that sometimes seem like foregone conclusions. Nothing's inevitable until it's happened

[@Conus426]

Man this video feels like a wound I didn't even know I had just healed. Amazing news!

[@itsSamBentley]

No way, I'll keep them coming!

[@MíriamSuárezRodríguez-y7n]

Thank you for making our days brighter with positive news ✨ it's amazing to see what many good people over the world are working on to protect our planet

[@itsSamBentley]

[@itsSamBentley]

Thanks for being here and watching!

[@amandaunrau1113]

Happy birthversary and welcome to your 30's! I too had a few rough days in the past couple weeks, so I appreciate your transparency in saying (on IG) you've had the same. I absolutely appreciate all the good news you are spreading. Your page, here and on insta, are a constant source of good feelings for me. Thank you so much for being such a bright light in these crazy times. The world has a lot of darkness in it. Your efforts to mitigate this are noticed and appreciated, hugely. Love to you Sam!

[@IbrahimTatloses]

Thank you so much for making these videos and showing that the world is not only about bad news ❤

[@cobygardiner8407]

Thank you so much for your positive news ,I too do not like F*ng February 😢but your posts pull me through the dark days 🎉Keep smiling 😅😂

[@EricSable]

Sam, just stumbled upon your channel. I love this video and your positivity! I personally believe that not enough of this broad scope good news is published my major news outlets and instead those sources push climate doomism! Love this, you earned my sub. Looking forward to saving the world together

[@queeniez1970]

Thank you, Sam! You are providing a really needed service❤

[@christinechandler3701]

I genuinely enjoy your content! It's so wonderful to get some positive updates regarding the progress being made in the world! Looking forward to your future videos!

Feels so hard to come by doesn't it!

[@Magic-komplexDe]

@@itsSamBentley Absolutely. Actually I already lost all hope in this world, until I saw your video today. This is precious!

[@ArmanNobari]

Thanks as always for these videos man, I really appreciate the wide range of topics, and how you unpack each bit of good news with helpful context. You're the GOAT!

[@brett310]

Great vids. Spreading happiness for once. Consider broadening your good news searches beyond the environment. Those stories are great, but there are good news stories in politics, sports, culture, technology etc.

[@maxineolynyk8783]

I am so thankful for your videos.

[@jan3477]

Thank you for you big smile as well!

[@itsSamBentley]

You're very welcome!

[@autumngalix4616]

I don't like Peta or it's misinformation and lies, but I am absolutely excited to hear the news that fashion made from animals has stopped. I hope they don't replace these materials with plastic, as in vegan leather and such. There are better more reusable sources like mushroom leather and clothing made from plant materials.

[@itsSamBentley]

There's some really exciting alternative materials coming out that don't have any plastic, (I agree the goal is not 'vegan leather' that uses plastic - I spoke to someone recently about it so HOPEFULLY I'll have some a scoop on something soon!

[@lindachristianson196]

Thanks! I needed that. Sharing your video on my Twitter and KZbin. 😊

[@itsSamBentley]

You're the best!

[@Globularmotif]

Love you Sam. Just have one question, do we know if the synthetic materials used in fashion are more or less damaging than natural leathers, furs or feathers overall?? I suppose one would have to weigh up the micro fibres and polysythetic flecks against the natural materials. I imagine wool and cottons are the best overall?? Many thanks....xxx

[@palomawhite6210]

Love these videos! Thank so much for making them!

[@alenaalisakomendova]

Love the good news, but love the editing even more, great job! :)

[@itsSamBentley]

Amazing cheers dude! Hope-amine I love it!

[@jakemoore6605]

Absolute legend I love what you’re doing I only wish you were like BBC breakfast lol every morning for an hour taking positive news and stories around the globe. Luckily everyone starting to wake up to the fact that main stream media is all a load of rubbish with specific narratives and agendas. Can’t wait to see where you manage to take this Chanel!

[@polarisedelectrons]

Not to be a downer, but the ban on animal furs in fashion will only increase production of faux fur, which is made with petroleum and is very energy-intense to create. Unless they intended to ban all fur-like materials, but I doubt it...

[@hoosierbaddy3052]

If you are looking for bad news, you’ll find it. If you’re looking for good news, you’ll find it.

[@melanie_meanders]

i’m worried about places banning leather if they’re going to be replacing it with plastic. everything else is incredible!!!

[@LoveVanillaRose]

I hope you keep going with this channel 💖

[@glenbyrne2296]

[@KrazyStargazer]

Hope your channel pops off we could use good news 😊

[@TheZmobie]

Thank you for another piece of good news!

[@FrancisBowieBeans]

I'm so concerned about the male grey wolf's ego now. His 'bitch' goes off an errand and comes back pregnant! And she tells him an unbelievable abduction story --"No, it wasn't another wolf, it was a group of humans in a lab! I swear, they're yours! Look, that one has your paws!"... etc.

[@Aurora-light01]

This is wonderful but it also makes me wonder how this affects the poor in these countries. It's easy for the rich to complain about coal or oil when they are not reliant on it to survive.

[@mediationwithmaitreya]

Fantastic! Thank you 🙂

[@denisecaparn5400]

Better tell Australia bout cutting down tree taking land 4 houses by the miniure😂

[@liamnelski7083]

I am from Ontario and as someone who hunts and deeply cares about the environment I'm not really sure why hunting gets such a bad wrap. I can't really comment on how BC does it because I don't know, but here in Ontario all the fee's you pay toward hunting pay for conservation efforts. The province does a pretty good job maintaining the population of the various game animals too. My motivation for becoming a hunter was my love of the environment. I wanted to get my meat in a more sustainable way, and part of the experience of hunting is being outdoors and immersing yourself in nature. On a similar note, why is banning animal products from fashion shows also such a good thing? Animal products themselves are sustainable no? A good pair of leather shoes can last a lot long than some cheap sneakers that have to be replaced ever couple years, and when they finally wear out, are they not biodegradable? I get that a lot of mass industrial farming is done unstainable and is cruel to the animals, so I feel like targeting how farming is done could be a lot more effect then just removing animal products from clothing. I fear all the animal product materials will just be replace d by plastic based and it will be worse. I've seen a lot of regenerative farming channels pop up and start to grow, which is one a lot more environmentally friendly in addition to providing the animals with a fulling life. Love your channel its so nice to be able to see some good news for the environment in the sea of negativity. Keep up the great work!

[@itsSamBentley]

Thanks for contributing your perspective Liam and it’s great to see such a strong connection to nature in your approach. From what I understand in this instance, trophy hunting in regions like BC's Great Bear Rainforest often targets keystone species. These are animals crucial to the ecological balance, like grizzly bears, wolves, and cougars. Unlike sustenance hunting, where the goal is to harvest food, trophy hunting focuses on these specific animals for sport or trophies, like in the case with Cecil The Lion, which can disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem. (I'm sure you know this but just pointing this out for anyone reading who may not know the difference) In regards to whether trophy hunting is beneficial for the environment (Putting the ethical question of it aside), I haven't seen a consensus where it says that it is. I checked out a study done by Benjamin Ghasemi called 'Trophy hunting and conservation: Do the major ethical theories converge in opposition to trophy hunting?'. The study suggests that trophy hunting may do more harm than good. It hints that the negative sides, like ethical issues, harm to wildlife, and unfair distribution of money, outweigh the potential benefits for conservation and local people. As it's practiced now, trophy hunting doesn't seem to fairly share profits, protect animals, or earn the public's trust, all of which are crucial for it to be considered good for the environment. So, the study leans towards the idea that trophy hunting, as it stands, isn't right from an ethical standpoint and creates big hurdles for proper wildlife management and conservation efforts. In the instance in B.C, I guess we can see if the Raincoast Conservation Foundation can maintain the levels of income needed to look after the Park with ecotourism as opposed to trophy hunting, and hopefully there'll be some data to dig into to see if wildlife has improved!

[@starshot5172]

Great news!!!!!

[@essentialnaturalremedies]

Brilliant. So much good news to celebrate in January. Hopefully they will find a better use of wind power rather than erecting the huge turbines which destroy the bird population and are not biodegradable. The world needs more positivity and this channel provides it.

[@itsSamBentley]

Thank you I'll keep it coming! Whilst we need to continue to make wind turbines as efficient as possible, they actually do significantly less damage to bird populations than fossil fuels, and even things like windows and cats which kill way more birds than turbines. Several studies suggest birds have the ability to detect wind turbines in time and change their flight path early enough to avoid them, and with more investment and technology, placing turbines so they don't interfere with migration routes can help massively too. You're right about the need to increase the efficiency of the components they're made from, and in 2022 GE actually created their first prototype of a recyclable wind turbine blade, so change is coming on that side too!

[@essentialnaturalremedies]

@@itsSamBentleyThank you for telling me that Sam - even more good news! Keep 'em coming.
