A couple near Pittsburgh has been bringing neighbors food and refusing to take any money. One of the neighbors is a 71-year-old woman in a wheelchair. And she was so thankful, she wrote a letter to her local newspaper about how great they are.
Water treatment plants in Australia are using stale beer that goes bad and turning it into energy. The plants normally get 80% of their power by mixing industrial waste and sewage to make biogas and generate electricity. Now they're generating even more by adding beer to the mix. Enough to power 1,200 homes a month.
There's a 10-year-old artist in the U.K. named Daisy Watt who's so good, her paintings sell for thousands of dollars. And she donates ALL of it to charity. One of her paintings recently raised over $2,000 for healthcare workers. And in the last three years, she's raised more than 60 grand for different nonprofits.
Back when stores were out of everything, a nurse in Virginia named Stacy Mason realized the long hours made it even harder for healthcare workers to get stuff. So she organized a pantry in her ICU where anyone could take what they needed, and donate what they didn't. It was such a hit, they expanded it to the entire hospital, and then a second hospital got in on it. Now she's won a "Hometown Hero" award.

SYNOPSIS: When small-town video game store clerk Max Jenkins (Tom Plumley) discovers and plays the only known copy of Nether Dungeon, the legendary lost installment of the Nether Game series, he accidentally unleashes the ancient "Curse of The Ages," turning friends and family into possessed ghouls hell-bent on destroying civilization. It's up to Max and his best friends Reggie (Joey Morgan) and Liz (Hassie Harrison) along with old-school gaming gurus Eugene Wylder (Greg Grunberg) and Barton Grabowski (Joseph D. Reitman) to figure out how to beat the dark forces of The Nether before it's GAME OVER for humanity. Featuring Kevin Smith, Lin Shaye, Martin Kove, Jesse Kove and voice talent by Wil Wheaton, Max Reload and The Nether Blasters is a love letter to gaming, retro nostalgia and the wonderfully ridiculous plotlines of 1980s adventure-cinema.
