Deep Dive into Community Resilience

Read the full Goonj Karnataka State Report to discover how urban surplus and community action are changing lives.

Goonj’s journey in Tamil Nadu began in 2004 with the post- Tsunami relief work. What started as relief has since grown into a people-powered movement anchored by the Goonj Chennai Center of Circularity that bridges urban surplus with rural aspirations. Rooted in dignity, agency, and local wisdom, our approach transforms material abundance into powerful currencies for sustainable change.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

This is our clarion call to people: Don’t just recycle, ‘Goonj.. it’ instead!

Any surplus material you may have-at home, in offices, or anywhere—is urgently needed to respond to climate change and climate emergencies across India. Goonj exponentially increases the impact of your material by deploying it to mobilize and enable people in both urban and rural India to drive climate action-led solutions.

Let’s play a more active role in shaping a better world for ourselves and future generations.
