During an international ecological deployment of the celebration of the World Environment Education Day (January 26), the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace (GEAP) organized the Fairs for the Peace of Mother Earth in Latin America, United States, and Spain.
Focused on an environmental education, the Fairs present demonstrative actions and creations on the practices that citizens can do to help reduce environmental impact, respect the vital cycles of Mother Earth and contribute towards her restoration.
The activities are being developed in coordination with governmental entities, environmental organizations, educational institutions, NGO and businesses in each city. The exhibition is carried out in public areas, plazas, parks and educational centers; open to all the public.
The Fair is one of the main educational collective strategies of the Integral Program Children of Mother Earth, which will be held throughout the rest of the year.
“If the states and the nations commit to have effective educational and environmental communication planes to strengthen the individual and social culture of sustainability and love for Mother Earth, in a few years we will be able to see the results of those cares, in a substantial improvement of the environment and the restoration of all the resources of our Mother Earth.” Words of William Soto Santiago, executive president of the GEAP.
