Peace Circle® – A New Chapter in Our Fight for the Future

Writer's picture: Mika VanhanenMika Vanhanen


Today marks a turning point. In one of the world’s most powerful nations, a new president assumes power. His track record offers no hope for global stability or environmental progress. This is the reality we face – a world spiraling into chaos while those in charge ignore the urgent calls for change. The time for waiting is over.

We can no longer afford to sit idly by, waiting for change to trickle down. Change starts with us. The Peace Circle® initiative is our answer. It’s not just a call for action – it is action. Born from the strength of ordinary people, Peace Circle® refuses to wait for permission. Every tree planted, every park created, is a bold declaration of defiance against the status quo.

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. rallied citizens to demand justice, Peace Circle® calls on us to unite for a sustainable, peaceful future. Each tree planted, each park created, is an act of rebellion against inaction. We are not waiting for change; we are making it happen, now.

A Personal Journey of Planting Change

When I planted the first trees with my network 25 years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the scale of what was beginning. At the time, it felt small – just a few trees in the ground. But over the years, I’ve watched those small acts grow into forests that sustain life, unite communities, and spark global movements. This is the power of Peace Circle®: each tree, each park, has the potential to change the world. The Heart of Peace Circle®

Peace Circle® parks are more than green spaces – they are the pulse of this movement. They’re where communities gather, where change begins, and where the ripple effect of collective action starts. From Finland to Italy, following South Africa, Bosnia Herzegovina, Mexico and India, Peace Circle® is growing. We aim to be in 100 countries by 2030. This isn’t just a movement; it’s a revolution in how we build the future.

Each tree represents a unique commitment—whether it’s to the environment, community, or sustainability. Each tree is a call to action, reminding us of the values we must uphold and the future we must fight for. Together, these trees form a powerful tapestry of hope, resilience, and collective effort.

Peace Circle® is the breath of fresh air we’ve been waiting for. It’s a direct challenge to the noise of inaction. This movement isn’t just about planting trees – it’s about planting the seeds for a new world where peace and sustainability aren’t ideals, but reality.

A Call to Action

“I have a dream” – and so do we.

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream of a world where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, we have a dream of a world where peace, sustainability, and justice are not just aspirations, but realities.

The time for dreams is over – now is the time for action. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of equality; we dream of a future where the Earth is treated with respect, where communities are united, and where change begins in the hearts of every individual. This is our dream.

The time for change is now. We can’t afford to wait. Every tree, every park, every act of solidarity brings us one step closer to a world where peace and sustainability are real. This is our moment to rise, to act, to make our mark.

Join us today. Stand united for a better world. Together, we will build a future worth fighting for – one tree, one park, one action at a time.
