Earth & Peace Festival on November 11



Earth & Peace Festival

“Society changes by each and every person putting a seed into the Earth”

Operation Seeding is a campaign that started at the traditional bean-throwing festival on February 3, 2007. Now it is time for our harvest festival. The Earth & Peace Festival will be held on Sunday, November 11, 2007 at Shiba Kouen in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Update: The Japan Times Sowing seeds of organic action

A live, open-air concert has been organized by the singer Yae, who practices farming in Kamogawa, Chiba prefecture. A spectacular and wonderful show will be presented by musicians and special guests on a stage with a solar power system. At the bamboo tent area you can enjoy and see the potential of farming by strolling along the farmers’ market, with booths explaining agro-tourism, fair trade, food mileage, etc. Of course, you can taste delicious and soul-warming food and drinks in the food area.

By linking ”Earth & Peace” to ”Farming Happiness” we can feel our connection to the Earth, while promoting a safe and sustainable lifestyle. This festival will bring to each and every person a sense of joy of living with the Earth.

Please come and join the festival!

Have fun!

That's good, because war and famine will also go on no matter the weather. (until we end it). :^)

Sigh! It's days like this when I wish I lived within commuting distance of Tokyo.

It sounds like a fantastic event! Many positive wishes for its success.
