Hello and welcome! Georgia here, founder of Humans For Good 👋
We’re a community for people who want to turn their good intentions into impact, and do their part toward making the world a better place. This looks like an active Slack community and potluck dinners that create conversation + connection around a wide range of global problems, and their solutions.
We also have two Substack publications:
‘More Good’ – our previous newsletter that featured a range of practical ways to do a little more good at home, at work and in our communities
‘Unconventional’ – our brand new publication that is an ode to the weird and wonderful ways that humans are living, and doing good, around the world
Why Unconventional?
A few years back, if someone asked me ‘how can you help people and the planet?,’ the first thing that would have come to mind was donating money, or time, to a charity. This is an incredible and important thing to do, but one of a myriad of possibilities to choose from.
I have met countless everyday people through Humans For Good, and while travelling to different communities around the world for the past one and a half years, who are living bold and purpose-driven lives. They have chosen to live, and do good in a wild variety of ways – for example setting up soup kitchens for their neighbourhood, adopting teenagers, building sustainable co-living spaces using recycled bamboo from their local village, and launching movements that stop Asian hate or empower women in Saudi Arabia to drive.
So every couple of months or so, HFG will be sharing global stories and perspectives like these that remind us all that having a positive impact, like life, can take so many different shapes and forms. From micro-actions that create change at home, to big gestures that challenge the status quo – it all matters. We can do more as individuals, and communities, than we tend to believe.
I hope that Unconventional helps you think a little differently, design a life that is uniquely yours, and find new ways to improve the world around you.
