Walking is a “magic app” that builds a healthier, safer, more vibrant city. Plus, walking connects us to our communities, puts us in contact with our neighbors, builds social capital and raises civic awareness. Plus, it’s fun.
We’re organizing a campaign to get more Angelenos walking and make L.A. more walkable. If you sign up on our site at losangeleswalks.org, you can join walks and community events around L.A. throughout the year! Get involved with us and start walking!

What if awesome people everywhere came together to learn and do good in their communities?
Starting this March, we’re embarking on a new venture to see what happens if we bring together cool people in cities around the country to do interesting things that improve their communities. We’re calling this endeavor GOOD Local, and we’re looking for curious changemakers to work with us to spearhead new ways to learn and do good.
If you’re excited by big questions, have a desire to do good, and a knack for organizing and connecting people, then we we want to hear from you.
We’ll be selecting a team of superstars from each city to lead GOOD Local. Selected leaders will collaborate with GOOD staff to organize local events and gatherings and join a global community of changemakers who are moving the world forward.
Interested? Learn more about GOOD Local here and apply to join us on this new adventure. Questions? Ideas? Hell Yeahs? E-mail us at local@goodinc.com.

Before you head to the beach to cool off, however, allow GOOD to hip you to LA’s six best (but often forgotten) public pools. They’re cheap, clean, fun, and, most importantly, nearby. An aquatic respite need not require a lengthy drive to Malibu!
Earlier this week, Los Angeles’ seasonal pools opened for the summer, and for a steal: Most city-run pools are accessible for the low, low price of $2.50 per swim ($2 with a Los Angeles library card). Just be sure to check the schedules ahead of time for when pools are open—you won’t want to arrive to find yourself left high and dry.

The GOOD Global Exchange 2013 Highlight Video

Following the success of the first annual Neighborday back in April, GOOD created the Global Neighborhood Challenge to identify and convene some of the most effective community-level innovators from around the globe.

Five impressive candidates—Regina Agyare (Ghana), Bruce Good (South Africa), María Morfín (Mexico), Kurt Shaw (Brazil), Coralie Winn (New Zealand)—were invited to come collaborate in Los Angeles as GOOD Exchange Fellows.

The Fellows shared ideas with one another and like-minded people and organizations based here in Los Angeles. The Exchange culminated with a unique event in a pop-up space in DTLA where the Fellows presented what they learned over the course of the week, and guests from the GOOD community celebrated together.

A byproduct of the Fellowship was the launch of the The GOOD Pioneers of Health: Africa Edition Challenge. In partnership with one of the fellows, Bruce Good from Name Your Hood, we’re searching for the most creative and innovative leaders in health work across the continent of Africa.

Read more about the GOOD Exchange fellows and check out these albums for photos from the week: GOOD Exchange 2013 and GOOD Exchange 2013: The Celebration

*- Adele Peters wrote in Design, Transportation and Diy*
When Gaspard Tine-Beres was a design student at the Royal College of Art in London, he had an assignment to make a truly local product: something not only made near the designer, but consumed locally too. He thought about what he needed himself, and since he happened to be living with friends in a poorly-heated house in the dead of winter, he was inspired to create a warm (and sustainable pair) of slippers. In London, it was easy to find local manufacturers who used leather. When Tine-Beres later moved to Paris, he wanted to keep the project local, and found a manufacturer using leather and wool felt in his own neighborhood.
