A reader sent in this heart-warming story:

Volunteers in New Haven, Vermont spend long hours at night helping newts, frogs, and salamanders cross the road safely, and are even hoping to arrange construction of little underpasses for creatures to safely pass under the roadway.

This is awesome.

People tend to forget that these are living creatures with lives all their own.  Humans construct these roadways across their homes, and kill hundreds of thousands of them as they’re simply trying to get from one side to the other.  It’s wonderful to know some people out there understand this, and actually care enough to volunteer their time to help these creatures avoid dangers that we, ourselves, have put into their environment.

Bravo, New Haven!
