Whirled Peace Sign Jewelry
Here’s some peace sign jewelry for your lawn! I’d like to tell you about a creative effort I’ve discovered to express wishes for peace all over the world. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution in 1981 declaring an International Day of Peace. That day is September 21, and this year, in 2008, people all over the world will be continuing a tradition started in 2005. They will create pinwheels of all types and sizes, and plant them in the ground on this day, symbolizing the simple happiness of peace. Perhaps the pinwheel will come to be a new peace sign for our times.
The project, called Pinwheels for Peace has grown every year since 2005, and last year in 2007, 1.2 million pinwheels were planted. Click here to go to their website and get instructions for making your own pinwheel, photos of other pinwheel exhibitions, and more information about the project. Spread the word and forward this to anyone you know who may be interested in participating. Let’s plant our own peace sign jewelry and send peaceful thoughts all over the globe while gentle breezes spin our creations.
