Happy New Year from Absolute Dental! 20 Reasons to Smile in 2016

2015 is no longer, and for many this has been a year of trial and tribulation, especially surrounding current affairs in the Middle East and the refugee crisis in Europe in recent months. Instead of focusing on the negatives, the best way to start the new year would be to reflect on all the good we have seen as a global community, and get excited about what 2016 has in store...

1. 195 countries across the world have united and have agreed to a revolutionary and historic agreement to actively tackle climate change

2. A growing number of workers are earning more, and it is predicted that this increase will continue to rise

3. ACDC and MUSE are rumored for the Glastonbury Music Festival, now wouldn’t that be a show?

4.  The Olympics in Rio de Janeiro - time to get patriotic over sports once more

5.  The first ever hotel in space opens - talk about a long haul flight!

6.  Gay Marriage is now legal across all of the USA

7.  The fall in price of petrol and diesel

8.  The remaining British, American, and Australian troops will withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of the year

9.  Rubella has been eliminated from North and South America

10. Guinness is now a cruelty free, certified vegan drink

11.   The opportunity, for the first time in history, for a woman to win the vote for US president

12.   The potential that Jon Snow will return from the dead (If you don’t watch Game of Thrones, don’t worry about this one)

13. The new series of Top Gear -  will Chis Evans be able to fill those awfully big shoes?

14. David Bowie is releasing a brand new album

15. Africa went a year without any new Polio cases

16.   Euro16 in France - any excuse to go to Paris eh?

17. It is now illegal to smoke in a car or vehicle with anyone under the age of 18

18. Cuba and the US now have embassies in each other's territories for the fist time in half a century, showing we are slowly moving towards an age of peace

19. The Juno probe’s arrival at Jupiter, giving us all a chance to see, for the first time, high definition images of the planet’s surface

20. China will complete it’s largest environmental clean up of its history

Here’s to a Proactive, Aspirational, Happy New Year!
