Expanding the ENO Legacy with Plant and Care for Peace
"Plant and Care for Peace" extends the impactful journey started by Mika Vanhanen and the ENO (Environment Online) school network. With a remarkable foundation of over 30 million trees planted by more than 10,000 schools across 150 countries, we're broadening the scope to embrace a wider community committed to environmental and peace-building efforts.
This initiative enriches ENO's vision by integrating cultural exchange and artistic expressions with our environmental actions, recognizing them as powerful tools for peace. Through tree planting, community engagement, cultural exchanges, and artistic endeavors, we aim to cultivate a sense of unity and sustainable peace worldwide.
In collaboration with Act Now India and other global partners, we're dedicated to deepening our collective impact. Our mission is to connect diverse communities, celebrating our shared humanity and the planet we call home.
We invite you to join this expanded mission. Your involvement is crucial as we grow a global network of peacebuilders and environmental stewards. Together, we can create a legacy of hope, unity, and sustainability for generations to come.
