From Gesture to Global Movement: The Power of the Seed Greet

At the core of the "Plant and Care for Peace" initiative lies a profound symbol that has grown to embody hope, collaboration, and our collective mission to nurture the planet and foster peace: the Seed Greet. This gesture, born from my moment of inspiration and deeply rooted in the symbolism of our logo, has become a dynamic emblem of unity and environmental care. As its creator, I've witnessed the Seed Greet evolve from a simple idea into a powerful tool for global connection and action.

Embracing the Gesture Globally

Since its inception, the Seed Greet has garnered incredible support worldwide. Individuals, communities, and organizations from various countries have embraced this gesture, sharing their moments of unity through video clips in their native languages. These gestures are more than just actions; they are expressions of a shared commitment to peace and environmental stewardship.

From the bustling streets of cities to the serene calm of rural landscapes, these contributions demonstrate that the care for our Earth is a universal language. Each unique video adds to the narrative of our global movement, illustrating that, despite our diverse backgrounds, we share common goals.

The Essence and Practice of the Seed Greet

Inspired by the imagery of our logo—hands cupping a seedling with roots forming a peace symbol—I designed the Seed Greet as a three-part gesture to symbolize potential, commitment, and collective effort:

  • Cup one hand: Holding the seed of peace, brimming with potential for growth and harmony.

  • Mimic planting with the other hand: Demonstrating our dedication to environmental care and nurturing peace.

  • Bring hands together: Showcasing our united effort to support and nurture growth and peace.


To bring this vision to life and share the Seed Greet with the world please find a video demonstration that not only shows the gesture but also invites you to join us in this global movement.

The Seed Greet has crossed international borders, becoming a universal sign of unity and environmental stewardship. It's a clear demonstration of how a simple gesture can unite people across the globe. Here's how you can join this expanding movement:

  • Share Your Seed Greet: Let your gesture join the global collection of solidarity for peace and environmental care by sharing your own Seed Greet video.
