| The Sunflower Project
is a global appeal to all people on planet earth concerned about nuclear
war, pollution, violence, injustice, and threats to the balance of nature
-- to plant at least one sunflower seed in a sunny place where it will
be
noticed. This simple, yet radical act of planting a seed will demonstrate
the energy, simplicity, and practicality of nature. The incredible sunflower
turns its head to follow the sun and provides seeds to eat, fiber for materials,
medicine to heal, a golden yellow dye, and oil. It offers shade and beauty.
It is a symbol of our hope for Nature and for Peace. We make a collective,
conscious, and powerful statement by planting sunflowers where they will
be noticed -- in vacant lots, fields, along roadways, city streets, at
schools, surrounding toxic waste sites, reservoirs, threatened open space,
along stretches of railroad, parking lots, playgrounds, around places of
worship, and in gardens. We encourage all to plant a sunflower seed and
watch it grow to become a majestic symbol -- to summon harmony between
humans, and with nature - toward peace on earth. |
