VIDEO: Meet Citizen Pete, the Awkward GOOD Samaritan

Here to bring you some ideas for how you can participate in the GOOD Fix Your Street Challenge is Citizen Pete. Who’s Pete? A true throwback to the ’90s, he has a public access show and big dreams. His best friend is his cat Gary, he lives in a converted tool shed—and he is full of good tips for how you can improve your block, guerilla-style. You can find more ideas for street hacks here. And you can enter our GOOD Fix Your Street Challenge here. 

Hilarious!!!!!! @GOOD

Infographic: Do You Know Your Neighbor?
- GOOD HQ and Oliver Munday contributed in Culture, America and News

Being neighborly isn’t just giving a smile and nod to your neighbors when you see them on the street. It’s a way of life—a way to build a real social network that can connect you to hyper-local current events, political action, and groups you can join to make your community a better place to live and work. What are ways we can improve how we engage with our communities?

I wrote this and did all the research!

Robots With ‘Swarm Intelligence’ to Repair the World’s Dying Reefs
- Coralbots Team wrote in Technology, Environment and Sustainability

Coral gardening by humans is time-consuming, restricted to small areas, and impossible in the deep sea because of human diving limits. Our project, Coralbots, advances the current state-of-the art by creating a team of autonomous underwater robots with artificial intelligence to repair coral reefs. Coralbots is a truly cross-disciplinary project based at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland and the Autonomous Undersea Institute in the U.S. The team has expertise in marine biology (Dr. Lea-Anne Henry), artificial intelligence (Prof. David Corne), computer vision (Dr. Neil Robertson) and autonomous underwater robotics (Prof. David Lane and Dr. Richard Blidberg).

@GOOD and @hellogiggles !

The Neighborday I’m hosting will be April 27, at the Lyric Hyperion Theater and Café. As a GOOD Magazine holiday, I’m excited to get my neighbors to come together and get to know each other. We’re starting the morning off with a group walk around the historical Hyperion Blvd, known for Disney Studios’ beginnings. Then, in the afternoon, local businesses and neighbors will do a meet and greet in the parking lot where this amazing mural has just been painted. At 10pm, all the staple shows of the Lyric, like Matty Cardarople’s Pizza Party, John Ennis’ Love Buckets, as well as storytellers @thejohngrady @coleKazdin @carolynjmartone and more will perform comedy, sketch, songs, and fun acts about neighboring! Join in on the fun! Click DO here: http://www.good.is/posts/host-a-neighborday-celebration-on-april-27?utm_medium=social&utm_source=emp&utm_campaign=ndm&utm_content=less

This is the best comedy video ever made unintentionally and it’s my cousin Greg as an 11 year old. Tell me your favorite line from his commercial about SPIN BALLS. Who has commercials from their childhood? Please send me them in the comments so I can write it up for @HelloGiggles!
