7 Actions to Create Peace on Earth

torch 7actions

These seven actions represent the best practices that enabled the First Earth Run to unite the world. They are so accessible that every woman, man and child on the planet can participate. And with all the networks so networked, they can rapidly be disseminated to tens of millions people all over the world.

Every year the First Earth Run story becomes more powerful because it embodies a vision that became a reality of humanity experiencing itself in a unitive state. Because we experienced the impossible becoming possible once, these seven actions can reunite us again through their archetypal aspiration to create peace on earth. All people of good will are invited to carry the torch and make this future our reality. These actions provide a means.
