Rob Greenfield

There's a lot to be concerned about in our world. The daily grind of issues and worries can feel overwhelming and impossible to change. Rob Greenfield’s life is an embodiment of Gandhi’s philosophy, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” In a time when many feel disempowered, He believes that our actions really do matter and that as individuals and communities we have the power to improve the world around us.
