This is my occasional series on Good News. I love the leadership from Costa Rica, Seattle, Australia, Kenya and South Miami, places that are taking us into a sustainable future.
** Amazing Costa Rica will be the first country to ban all single-use plastics. They are working with businesses to create and use biodegradable plastic products. By 2021 Costa Rica hopes be using plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, containers and plastic cutlery that will break down in water. Read about it at Costa Rica
** Also amazing, in 2018 the city of Seattle is banning straws and plastic utensils in restaurants! Read about it here.
** Australia going to build the world’s longest electric vehicle highway. They will build a 1,118 mile highway with free and fast electric charging stations. Read about it at EVhighway
** A new local law will 
require all new homes built in South Miami to install solar panels. The idea was pushed by a teenage climate activist, and will began this September. Read more about it at South Miami.
** Yay, Kenya is enforcing a tough plastic bag-ban. Read at Kenya.
Currently these biodegradable products are available in the USA, and can be purchased at food-coops and some grocery stores.
