Who is doing the most good in the world, and how? ( kbin.social )

My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I'm particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if...

What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant? ( kbin.social )

What scenarios do you envision might arise once animals join our ranks? ( spectrum.ieee.org )

I heard about this because someone I know personally on here says she's helping to work on this (which by the way sounds like it would perfectly fit the format/structure of the fediverse) and I felt too fascinated to not ask. What are some scenarios that comes to mind when you think of this being a thing?

What could this be? It's been bubbling for a couple of hours. Alabama. My driveway. Lots of rain lately. ( mega.nz )

Clay soil. The bubbles aren't flammable, I held a long lighter over them and they actually blew it out. I got close and smelled the bubbles, they didn't smell distinctive, maybe slightly sewery. There are no utilities that I know of under there, but the area has been occupied for a long time, and my house is 100 years old.
