Our Work
Season 3 of the ABC's War on Waste is back, and Good for the Hood is proudly launching a new community toolkit to help local champions take action.
Waste is back on the agenda in a big way. While so much has happened in the last five years, it’s clear Australia; we still have a problem! By letting too many things go to waste, we are paying high environmental costs and missing out on the value of our wasted resources. Now because you’re a savvy citizen, you’ll know that changing anything this big and messy takes many different steps, so we’ve sat down to help you.
PLANET SHAPERS
From recycling waste at home, to large scale renewable energy, there is innovation and change all around us. Planet Shapers reveals the people and organisations leading the way.
Good for the Hood are proud partners with Planet Shapers, providing in-depth research and story production to help present first-hand accounts from people bringing real change.
ABC’s Fight For Planet A: Our Climate Challenge
Craig Reucassel’s new 2020 documentary really got us hot under the collar. So much so that we jumped on board with ABC TV + iView to build the Our Climate Challenge Action Toolkit as part of the show’s inspiring Community Solutions Plan.
And not only did we create a guide to taking up the climate challenge in neighbourhoods, we went on Radio National to talk about it, held community webinars about it, and linked together with the climate impact change-makers all around Australia.
ABC War on Waste
In 2018, Good for the Hood partnered with ABC TV to show Australian’s just how trashy we are when it comes to our day to day consumption. Showing communities all over Australia the secrets to reducing waste, we were proud to launch the
War on Waste Action Toolkit
and be part of the huge groundswell of waste behaviour change that followed.
Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group
Good for the Hood was proud to lead the launch of the Can Do Communities program across the 12 councils in the Grampians Central West Region. Teaming up with the gardening King himself, Costa Georgiadis, 70 community representatives from over 25 new and existing community organisations participated in a full day workshop to unlock strategies for greater connection and collective impact.
SAGE FOUNDATION
Teaming up with our buddies at Funlocka, we were proud to be part of the virtual Family and Community Day as part of the Sage Foundation’s efforts to unify their colleagues, partners and customers in a program of social change philanthropy. Unlocking how the Sage community could make a difference when it comes to emissions reduction, we mobilised hundreds of homes around Australia and Asia to take up a home electricity challenge.
Planet Ark
Good for the Hood are proud ambassadors for Australia’s most trusted environmental organisation. As part of the Australiasian Recycling Label campaign and National Recycling Week, we’ve partnered to share stories which educate and entertain.
Australian Water Association
Good for the Hood worked with Australia's leading water association to share stories about how the industry is building a sustainable water future. From video content to podcasts, we worked closely with Devise Agency to bring the messages that matter from advances in infrastructure and technology to best practices when engaging and building community.
Ronni Kahn Book Launch
Co-founder, Jo Taranto, was proud to MC the first in person book launch of Ronni Kahn’s A Repurposed Life in Sydney in 2020. Taking the audience on a journey of food fighting and social entrepreneurship, she spoke with Ronni to unlock the story of how she found her voice and explored the ‘why?’ behind one person taking on such a monumental social and environmental issue.
Cooks River Litter Prevention Strategy
Good For the Hood was proud to assist the development of a Communications strategy for the launch of the exciting new Litter Prevention Strategy for the Cooks River catchment to meet a new target of 50% less litter by 2025. Teaming up with the Cooks River Alliance, we loved helping them launch this great project to tackle
a pretty wicked problem!
