World Peace Day

I was watching videos on TED.org when I came across one by Jeremy Gilley titled "One day of peace". I enjoyed listening to his talk and afterwards immediately began reading more about this particular day. There has been an International Day of Peace in existence since September of 1982 thanks to the United Nations; however, the day being September 21st was decided in 2002 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. By 2012 there is the hope that we will have a global truce and everyone in the world can observe a day of peace. I believe this is a fantastic way to help make our world a more peaceful place. Mark the day on your calendar (it's less than a month away) and decide what you will do to be more peaceful. There are some great websites if you're looking for suggestions, maybe you want to do something in your workplace, in your classroom, or your neighborhood, there are plenty of ways to help initiate positive change and promote Peace. Please check out the websites linked below and remember to celebrate World Peace Day on September 21st!
