While on a family vacation near Panama City, FL, Julie and Fred Pepperman were enjoying a day at the beach with their daughters and extended family.
+
Although the water initially seemed fine, 16-year-old Olivia drifted too far out. Two of his other daughters, Grace and Kathryn, immediately swam out to help, but they also got stuck.
+
Using all his strength, Fred pulled his daughters to the surface and pushed them toward the shore.
+
After ensuring his daughters were safe, Fred was overcome by exhaustion and was taken under by the water. Three strangers pulled him ashore and administered CPR, but were unable to revive him.
+
"Fred lived his life being kind to everyone and sharing his big heart. I was blessed that God placed him in my life at 16 and allowed me to have him for 32 years," Julie, Fred's wife, said in a Facebook post honoring her husband.

Banff National Park has built an impressive network of wildlife crossing structures along the Trans-Canada Highway. The system includes 44 wildlife crossings (6 overpasses and 38 underpasses) and 82 km of fencing, making it the largest concentration of such structures in the world.
+
These crossings were developed as part of the highway's expansion from two to four lanes. The dual solution of fencing and crossing structures has reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions by more than 80%, and for elk and deer specifically, by over 96%.
+
Research shows different animals prefer different crossing types. Grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and moose favor high, wide, and short structures, while black bears and cougars prefer long, narrow underpasses.

Brittany Killian, a mom from Fairview, works as a front desk secretary at Cane Creek Middle School in Fletcher, North Carolina.
+
After Hurricane Helene devastated Buncombe County in September 2024, Brittany became a local hero. She used her old and damaged Subaru to transport supplies to those in need throughout the affected areas.
+
"She's just piling her little car up with stuff and driving it wherever she could get to," Fairview Fire Chief Scott Jones, commented.
+
Despite her vehicle's poor condition, she continued helping her community. When her car couldn't make it through, she joined National Guard members on ATVs.
+
To support her cause, Hertz Car Sales partnered with "GMA" to surprise Brittany with a brand new car.

Plastic pollution along Australian coastlines has dropped by more than a third over the past decade, according to new research by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
+
Surveys across six metropolitan regions found a 39% reduction in coastal plastic waste. They also found that compared to earlier surveys, 16% more locations were completely clean of plastic waste.
+
"It's exciting to see a significant decrease in plastic pollution as people around the country are becoming more aware of the harmful effects of plastic waste on people, communities and wildlife," Dr. Denise Hardesty, Senior Research Scientist from CSIRO, commented.
+
This research supports CSIRO's ambitious goal to reduce plastic waste entering the environment by 80% by 2030.

Austin Dennison created a memorable night for his 89-year-old great-grandmother, Delores. At age 19 years old, Austin asked his grandma to his senior prom.
+
This special night marked Delores' first-ever prom experience. Delores initially hesitated due to health concerns.
+
"I had a bad heart attack and stroke. I'm not that good on my feet," she told him. Despite her concerns, she agreed to accompany her great-grandson to the special event.
+
Austin gifted Delores a pearl necklace, played guitar, and sang "Iris" for her. They dined at Bob Evans, one of her favorite restaurants, before heading to the dance, where they received a standing ovation upon arrival.
