The Spark: The ‘Community Lighthouses’ Where Neighbors Help Neighbors
Neighborhoods are creating community lighthouses that provide essential services to residents, including DIY communal internet and an all-volunteer ambulance service. Residents of a neighborhood came together to offer support during the hurricane, Francine. Electricity was restored after neighbors helped each other.
Why it's good news: It shows how ordinary people can come together to help one another in times of need.

Climate news is included when the story centers on measurable progress rather than projections of future damage. We believe tracking what is working is as important as tracking what is not.
