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.

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.

TCC is a worker’s co-op that doesn’t just put people over profit, but also focuses on how profit for people and workers can transform lives. Lastly, we interview Leslie Hurtig, artistic director of the Vancouver Writers Festival, about poetry in an accessible and enjoyable way.
