For the past ten years, Growing Home has filled the minds—and stomachs—of its formerly criminal and transitional workforce. By offering training in organic farming practices, sustainable living, and practical business skills, the organization gives people a fresh start and a chance to leave their troubled pasts behind.

Leaders from developing countries argued that the wealthiest countries aren't doing enough to fund environmental protection. And activists argued that agreements forged in Rio are too weak and watered down to create real change. But for all the strife and disappointments coming out of Rio, our world leaders can still come home and take concrete steps to promote sustainable development and to wipe out poverty.

We don't have a sales team either, and that's not because we're a startup. Instead, we have a movement team. Having been a part of our movement team since the early days, I can say with all honesty that building a Mosaic movement is not a gimmick. It's our business.

Rightfully so. Our nation’s unemployment continues to hover just above 8% and cities and states continue to struggle to create economic growth and jobs that can last. But a look around the country will show you that innovative partnerships are forming to address our nation’s unemployment epidemic and get Americans back to work.
