  • Driven By Community: All Things Green and Sustainable
    Apr 8 2026

    Driven by Community is Modo’s podcast for members who care about shared mobility and strong communities.

    April is Earth Month, and in this episode, we discuss all things green and sustainable. First, we’re joined by Anna from FoodStash Foundation, a non-profit charity that diverts food waste from the landfill and brings it to underserved communities. Next, we talk about Green Modo Memberships, with Esme, who learned to drive with Modo as a Green Member. Finally, we hear a voicenote from outgoing board director, Atiya, who explains how participating in the board election and attending the AGM promotes the sustainability of our co-operative.

    Driven by Community is Modo’s podcast for members who care about shared mobility and strong communities.

    In our March episode, we discuss the importance of gender pay equity and International Women’s Day with Modo’s People & Culture Director, Frederika Renaud. We also speak to one of the co-founders of TCC (The Cleaning Co-op), Hayley Postlethwaite.
