Life Hack #1: Spread Peace!

International Day of Peace is celebrated by those who are dedicated to “commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.” Created in 1981, this day was supported unanimously by The United Nations. This year's #peaceday is focused on highlighting the importance of combating climate change as a way to protect and promote peace throughout the world. Communities around the world are observing this day by organizing peace workshops or activities and creating large feasts or fairs where all are welcome. The most popular way to recognize the International Day of Peace is a one minute moment of silence at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.
