I Declare World Peace is the world’s largest ever art / science project / experiment. It is not a group. There is nothing to join. There is no cost. There are no members, and it requires no registration. While I Declare World Peace supports and embraces the activities of every other well-intentioned peace promoting endeavor, our experiment is based on the principle of “do less and accomplish more.” So, I Declare World Peace engages in no activities of any kind, except for encouraging everyone to periodically think the affirmation “I Declare World Peace” and from time to time write it on the wall of your favorite social media.

World peace can be achieved in our lifetime. In the meantime, and to help the process (since peace is up to us), please post “I Declare World Peace” on the walls of your social media sites. Thank you.

Please post and tweet the affirmation “I Declare World Peace” on your favorite social media site from time to time. Every time you see the tweet I Declare World Peace, please follow the person who tweeted it and then re tweet (RT) it. It will soon become like popcorn popping all over the world.

Kudos to GHF for this most excellent ‘save’ of a home that was devastated by Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Below is a recent article appearing in our local Coast magazine from the Galveston County Daily News.

Look around your own house, clean out the closets: you may just have the perfect lamp hiding somewhere.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, but avoid copying. Create!
