Rob: We enjoy living in a sustainable community. Started with Co-op daycare almost thirty years ago for our three kids. Found a way to do the same with my work. Built 401(k) with more “green” fund options than previously offered. Currently building model to move pension funds to community lenders.
Dr. Franklin Rose: Individuals who have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy have higher self-images, quality of life, and live longer. The Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation also offers reconstructive surgeries, psychological support, and a platform for wellness through empowering others.
Juan: My vision is that humanity will experience a reconnection with the unknown God. This God is not the God of the masses, it is the Deep Inner God. The center of Love, Peace, and Inspiration for a new world.
Sue: I love to teach our children, and others, the value of sustainability and responsibility toward each other and ourselves. To teach nutrition and self-reliance at a young age, I brought gardening to the schoolyard for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Seeing the kids brag about the vegetables they grow and eat is a great feeling.
Mrs. Cindi Rose: Inspired by my sister Holly Harwood’s battle with cancer, my goal is to help cancer survivors globally through a raw foods approach to give them a longer, healthier life. By offering free postreconstruction, wigs, and meaning though healthy living, opportunity translates into a longer life.
Ciela: It is within my deepest prayers that humanity will awaken to the truth and have the courage to go beyond the ego towards illumination, surrendering to the Divine Mother, walking the path of a celestial warrior, and allowing God to express through.

Jerry: Having recently retired after a long career of investing in innovation and technology companies, including social media companies that are changing the world, it appears to me that we are at the dawn of a new era [in which] a vast majority of humans will be directly connected to each other. Through social media, we are working together to create a world where we can share our wisdom and life experiences with each other [in order] to foster greater empathy and understanding in the battle against ignorance, fear, and hatred.

Viki: I love the intersection of technology and activism. Now that we have the tools to connect, inform, and inspire, thoughtful people everywhere are creating a world that they truly want live in. Louie: I want to create a legion of activists inspired to save the world from the impacts of burning fossil fuels by using the most powerful weapon: a great film.
