## Resource

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Spain’s Buñol hosted La Tomatina on August 26, with thousands throwing overripe tomatoes in an hour-long fight rooted in a 1945 food fight and popularized for some by a 2011 Bollywood film; inventor Diana created the iThrone, a waterless toilet that evaporates about 95% of the water in human waste and has been deployed in Uganda, Panama, and the U.S., earning a Global Citizen Wastelets Award and $100,000; ReShark released 82 young zebra sharks into protected Indonesian waters after estimates of only about 20 adults remained in 2019; missing dog Teddy was rescued after nearly three weeks on an English mountain and reunited with his owner; and a pickup spilled about 120 containers of Utz cheese balls on LA’s westbound 105, slowing traffic as some drivers stopped to collect them. 00:12 La Tomatina Tomato Fight 01:17 iThrone Waterless Toilet 01:57 Zebra Shark Comeback 03:01 Teddy Mountain Rescue 03:38 Cheese Balls Highway Spill Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/5-good-news-stories-happiness-and-fun--5747537/support . 5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.
