The world will change. 

Only on vlogbrothers will I see the video title "the world will change" and automatically feel better about the world, instead of worse

I started my Architecture Thesis project last week and have been doing research on historic hospital designs. No joke, the first question my advisor asked me was "have you considered how tuberculosis influenced the design of hospitals overtime?" That's what I'm going to research this week! Anyway, looking forward to buying some tea to get me through this semester!

this week (so far), 76 people died in my hometown from respiratory infection caused by illegal fires, greed from agricultural giants and industry lobby against preventable measures. a video like this is a great reminder that sometimes, the solution is there, but a tool that you don't use isn't actually a tool, as you said

A world in which turbucolosis never needs to even be a passing thought is a world we should live in.

My dad just got tested positive for TB. Thankfully, we're immigrants in a first world country and have access to quality healthcare and medicine. I didn't panic at the news because even though I don't know everything there is to know about TB, I've been watching vlogbrothers for a while and thanks to your unending efforts to bring awareness and change to TB's needless death rate, I've gleaned enough information about this disease to know that my dad will be ok. My first thoughts weren't "oh no this is terrible!" but rather "oh yeah, this is the curable disease John Green is obsessed with!" I'm glad I can say "curable" with confidence given how lucky we are to have diagnostics and medicine available. Thank you John and Hank for your philanthropy and DFTBA!

I shall continue to call the coffee I buy from you my "Green beans."

The coffee and tea are excellent, and knowing the proceeds are helping save lives and not just lining the pockets of shareholders makes it taste even better.

I'm an American who had to get a TB test for my university and I tested positive for latent TB! The TB nurse was surprised by how much I already knew about TB and I said "thanks, I watch a lot of John Green, and he's kind of obsessed." Thanks as always for the information!

I so want John to go down in history not as the teen romance novelist or the goofy face on the Pizza shirts, but as the one who spearheaded the eradication of TB. You can do it John! We can do it!

Hi John. I am a Mosotho and a long time fan of your work. All I want you to know is that you are a huge inspiration to me.

It really feels amazing to be part of a community that is literally investing in helping some of the world's most marginalized people.

My tea snob roommate LOVED the keats and co I ordered when y'all announced! I'm so glad they now are a supporter of Nerdfighteria without even realizing it.

John the world is changing because of the enormous amount of resources you pour into the eradication of TB, nerdfighteria has been piggy backing the whole ride, watching what an incredible impact one obsessed and passionate individual can have, with a community of supportive followers whom share belief. You aim to change the world for the better, together we can, and we do.

I lived in Alaska in the 00s and the legacy of TB is still taken very seriously there. In school, we got TB tests every year.

I needed this today. As a high school teacher in Georgia, I’ve been pretty exhausted by the constant fear of gun violence over the past week. I’m so sick of the world (mostly our country) being this way. I need it to change.

"The world will change, and together, we have some say in how it changes." -John Green

As a citizen of South Africa - the country that surrounds Lesotho - I couldn't be more grateful for your efforts. Not only am I always glad to see progress like this, but you're making life safer and healthier for those around me. A rising tide lifts all ships, this tide is improving the material reality of the lives of myself and those I love

0:08 “Tuberculosis” mentioned Thats a new record

I'll certainly miss the "Awesome" branding, but I can also understand how it might be difficult to communicate that a company called "Awesome Coffee Club" also sells tea...

The lack of thumbnail in my notification made this title so much more ominous

With all the unbelievable stress in the world, all all the added stress and anxiety I have bestowed upon myself, something about the words "The World Will Change" gave me the warmest feeling for just a moment. From assisting a nerdy kid to feel more confident, to making a nerdy adult feel like we can leave a mark on the world. We can change it for the better

Optimism has been such a rare thing in the last 10 years. It's so refreshing.

7 year+ Barista here. officially a Coffee Master because of the Arizona State University Online classes. all this to say, they have amazing coffee. you don't have to be super qualified to get the best out of it.

my mom who is veryyy picky about her tea said y'alls earl grey was the best she's ever tasted. enjoying something good while doing something good... dftba!! "a thing of beauty is a joy forever" this is the work y'all do in this world!

As someone born and raised in Alaska, it’s so touching to hear about a story from my home state. I never even knew this happened, but it’s so inspiring that we can still use it as inspiration today.

John, in a world where the news is filled with hurt people hurting people, vlogbrothers is a light. Your unyielding fight to spread good in this world will be remembered and hopefully inspire many others. I know you have been a role model for me and my life. Just this year I started dental school so that I can be a light to those who can’t afford adequate care. Thank you for everything you do. Ps I just got into coffee and I’m buying some Keats & co right now!

Thank you for never quitting on the world. You make my life more bearable.

I was already in the "heck yes" camp. Then John started talking about tea& coffee. My life is complete

Yes! I've been waiting for shipping to Europe for so long. Man, from the "John Green outlived John Keats" birthday party to this, what a great impact you and your borther have had

I would like if you guys shined a light on big companies defunding and fully stopping their research on women's chronic health conditions.

❤ You are a wonderful human, John Green

Enjoying the continuation of existential video titles

I thought you said “TV is the leading cause of death” and this caused me to zone out trying to figure out the immediate dangers of a TV for a minute before I tuned back in and realized it was not in fact the television, but tuberculosis which does make a lot more sense.

We can't see the future but hope is the thing with feathers!

This is like genuinely beautiful. I hope to one day have the financial success to create projects that actually make the world a better place. Your vendetta against TB became so big you genuinely are trying to get rid of it. Holy crap John, you deserve everything for this.

I read on wikipedia "baseball players who died during their careers" and basically most of the pre-1900s players died of tuberculosis

John, videos like these always make me cry. There are so many terrible things in the world that seem unsolvable, it renews my hope in humanity to see so many people coming together to work on issues like high rates of maternal death in Sierra Leone and TB and literally save so many lives, thank you for being the catalyst of this movement ❤

We're really lucky to live in an era with modern medicine. I'm grateful.

When I moved to Alaska in 2004, I had to take and pass a TB test before I could be allowed to work in the school system.

0:49 reminds me of a quote from actor Adam Sandler as Billy Madison in the film Billy Madison: Oh, I CAN… and I WILL.”

My grandfather unfortunately passed of TB before my mom was even born, in 1958 in Bethel, Alaska. Bethel's tribal healthcare system still needs a lot of help.

Thank you for adding a little hope into my life on a regular basis. Lord knows I need it 😅

Change is the only constant. I think that is the most important lesson I've ever learned.

Never did I think that my interests in Romantic poetry and ethically sourced coffee would collide, but I am so happy it did for an especially worthy cause!

John is on a path to become one of the most important people in human history

With just that sliver of Keats, I would pay for an audiobook of John Greene just reading famous poems

Thank you, as always, for your optimism that shows through the work that you do. You know that the world will change...and you see yourself, and others in this community, as agents of that change. And it is beautiful! I'll be sure to check out the link in the doobly-doo. :)

Opening RU-vid right when you uploaded this is crazy.

the goodness of these men legit makes me weep. order placed. excited to get my coffee, and so thrilled to be part of this community for so many years

John, you give me hope in the world. Hope feels so hard to come by in our society. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and kindness. I really appreciate you. ❤

I was mindlessly scrolling looking for emotional closure on my day, and then, I found it. “The world will change,” with this nuanced type of hope. I should have known it would be here. Thanks. ❤

It must be said a thousand times, and a thousand times over. Amazing things happen when people come together and decide that we are going to take care of our own and profits will not be the most important goal in our designs. People are. When wealth is the only goal, cancer is the result. When people are the only goal, miracles are the result.

The Earl Grey tea is really good! And the strainer is one of the best I've ever used!

Watching this just out of the shower, where I used my Sun Basin Dewdrop shampoo bar and Enigma soap. I am wearing my Pizzamas t shirt and Awesome Socks, and planning who in my family will get Keats & Co tea and coffee at Christmas. I can't wait to tell them how their gifts are changing the world!

i love how this has become the TB channel

I just looked back at my email history because i couldn't remember how long I've been drinking awesome coffee. My first reciept is from the early access launch in March of 2022. Thanks for two and a half years of good mornings! Here's to many more.

Thank you, John, for (among other things) teaching me how to pronounce "Lesotho". I had been saying the o's like "oh".

This video made me cry. I'm so filled with hope, knowing that there are still good people who are fighting their hardest to make the world a better place. I'm in college studying ecology so that I can make a difference in the world too. Thank you for being such a great inspiration and reminding us all to never lose hope in the world.

With my limited resources, my monthly contribution to Partners in Health is the one I am most proud of….not being proud of myself, but knowing that PIH are fighting on the front lines across the impoverished globe.

The world is changing, and we must change with it. I'm gonna talk to my tea-and-coffee-addict parents about signing up for this service for sure!

I feel honoured to be part of this awesome community and you guys have no idea how much inspiration and hope your projects are giving me for this world and the future. 😌 Thanks for delivering to Europe!

Thank you John for helping make the world a better place

Love the tea!! As a strong non-coffee fan I am thrilled to be able to give my money to thie effort now. The Earl Grey tea is by FAR the BEST Earl grey I've ever tasted, truly. I legit was shocked at the first sip.

This is fantastic news! Always a pleasure to watch these kinds of videos from those lovely Green brothers

"Tools that you don't use are not tools." is so painfully current and yet timeless...

when the world feels big and scary I can always count on John and Hank to put things i to perspective

The tea is amazing! I got the earl grey, the rooibos chai, and the green tea, all in the soft launch and I'm excitedly waiting for my restock

Thank you for your focus on TB, John Green. You are a wonderful human!

It is easy to think with news and everything going on that the world is getting worse. But we must always remember that the people that want to make the world better, like John, like Hank, like you, like me, are the majority. We can make the world better by helping family/friends or even buying some delicious coffee.

With the announcement of the teas I would like to plead for a hot chocolate line aswell, I’m not much of a coffee or tea drinker but would love to have a warm drink that supports nerdfighteria!

I've been enjoying the earl gray immensely these past few months.

this gives me so much hope for the world

I'm very excited to continue supporting the coffee y'all are making!

All the tea drinkers, sign up! The earl grey tastes just like my former favorite brand and is a similar price. It’s SO good!

Your videos give me hope, thank you 🙏

Thank you.

As an Awesome Coffee club member - let's go!!!!! Happy to be a part of this community.

I'm so grateful to be a part of this community. Also the green tea and ginger herbal teas are phenomenal! Same with there light roast coffee and decaf as well!

Can confirm the coffee is amazing. I got it 50% off and said to myself it was a one time thing because I couldn't really justify the cost and was immediately floored. I'm a little ashamed to say the marketing ploy worked on me. I may be weak willed but at least my coffee is delicious

as a warm beverage afficionado who has tried just about everything sold at Keats&Co, I can confirm it is top notch ☕️👌

Incredible work! I love the good news this morning! 😇

thanks, john! i'm really grateful for you

I carry Tb from working in a hospital in Nicaragua. No symptoms but for my job I had to get tested to prove that it was inactive.

John Keats is one of my favorite poets. I visited the Keats-Shelley House in Rome (located on the right side of, and at the foot of the Spanish Steps) to honor him and pay my respects. Among the artifacts of his life found there, there is a life mask and a death mask of his face. He also lost several family members to TB, including his mother. I'm certain he would heartily approve of Keats & Co. and its mission. With the support of the Green Brothers and Nerdfighteria, I know it will succeed. Peace, John. ✨️🕊✨️

Loving all the optimism in the comments. Also loving my daily morning cup of Keats & Co. earl grey tea!

love to hear good news

Bless you John 💛

I've never been so happy to be advertised at by someone on RU-vid. :)

I am soooooo exited that you now ship to Europe!!!! I've been getting awesome socks for a while now, but the small size is still a bit too big for me, so unfortunately I will stop my subscription soon, but I didn't want to stop contributing monthly to the good store. Congratulations, everybody! What this community is achieving is absolutely amazing to see, and I am soooooo happy to be part of it.

World will definitely change, when there's people like you in it, John🤐

I love my awesome coffee, I'm so glad that such delicious coffee can help so many. I can attest to John's statement on the flavor. I was in the tribe of "all coffee tastes the same" and would buy the cheapest stuff at the grocery store (usually Folgers). I gave awesome coffee a try, and was shocked that plain drip coffee can actually taste good. It's incredible. I can't go back.

The man is simply inspirational.

the keats and co earl grey is INCREDIBLE

You had me at tea and shipping to Europe. Contributing to such a great cause _and_ getting delicious tea on top of it? Don't mind if I do. Every video from both you and Hank are always this beautiful beacon of light that, no pun intended, has me breathing a little easier. And you spearheading this effort towards curing TB, with nerdfighteria charging along? Gives me hope for humanity. Thank you for never having forgotten to be awesome.

Given the community work done to eradicate polio and 99% of TB back then makes the 1950s trust in government make so much sense.

Thank you! I too hope to be a part of a better future! Your videos are so inspiring!

Vlogbrothers is one of the few threads keeping me from total despair 🙃

Another day ends with a little more hope than expected and all is (somewhat) well

Thank you, John!

***WE NEED KEATS & CO IN AUSTRALIA*** - I know sorting out shipping will initially be complicated, but it will sooo be worth it! Truly, Australia has a HUGE coffee culture, & we've all got kettles in our homes, plus lots of UK and Asian immigrants, so tea is huge here too ❤ Please please ship to Australia 🙏 I tried to join the pilot program via the nerdfighter newsletter before, & couldn't due to location... Please please please... It really will be profitable here ❤🌻🌈
