The Optimistic Environmentalist was gooooood stuff, a good palette cleanser if you're already well aware of how fucked the planet is and want some promising news done right.
A big victory that happened before most of our time was what happened with chlorofluorocarbons - low-toxic, non-flammable substances that were used everywhere from the 60's onward. refrigerants, fire-extinguishers, the production of styrofoam, essentially every consumer product that came in a spray can all used CFCs.
Then some smart folks figured out that when CFCs break down they release chlorine radicals, which split ozone molecules (O3) into oxygen (O2) and caused thinning of the ozone layer, which is bad because we need that to not get cancer+mutations. By the late 80's, loads of countries signed onto the Montreal Protocol and now the ozone layer is recovering!

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
