The circular economy is based on minimising waste and upholding sustainable use of resources with the intention of restoration or regeneration by design.
Waste has become a huge problem in Australia. As citizens, we can no longer wait for someone else to fix this crisis. We have the ability for tremendous change.
Jo Taranto is the Managing Director of Good For The Hood, one of Australia’s most impactful sustainability education platforms which has helped create significant changes in neighbourhoods, residents and communities across the country. For the last six years, Good For The Hood has empowered corporations, councils and ordinary people with tools to become everyday change-makers and create circular eco-systems.
Regardless of age, political views or background, you’re invited to join this circularity conversation with Jo Taranto and Nina Gbor, Director of Circular Economy & Waste Program of the Australia Institute. Hear about how Good For The Hood created an effective citizens’ movement and also garner ideas to influence change in your workplace or your own ‘hood’.
