JUST DEEDS: Heart & innovation in the real world

Envisioning new ways of tackling what needs to be done, these social entrepreneurs and innovators have translated ideas into actions, words into deeds. Their personal commitment demonstrates the unlimited potential of human imagination to overcome social, environmental and economic problems — thereby positively transforming the world. Living their ideals, they inspire their own communities and demonstrate humanity in action to us all — a welcome antidote to the massively destructive present-day insanity of military "solutions."
