30. Peace Business Plan

"When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined. " -- Bono

 

Our goal is to grow the Culture of Peace Movement so that it can reach the peace threshold. This is the point where the goal of 'building a culture of peace' becomes so mainstreamed that it attracts entrepreneurs with enormous resources to set up the infrastructure for a powerful peace industry.

A Peace Business Plan might include:

Culture of Peace Mall on the Internet - comprehensive one stop shopping for peace goods and services;

Culture of Peace Bank - depositors' money is invested in businesses working for a culture of peace;

Peace Credit Card - where every purchase provides funds for nonprofits for a culture of peace;

The Peace Factory - multimedia label paying royalties for peace books, CDs and films;

Culture of Peace Channel - radio, television and internet programming for a culture of peace;

Culture of Peace News Service - providing positive news about the Culture of Peace Movement to all media outlets;

Peace Think Tank - finding ways to integrate 'building a culture of peace' into the mainstream.

The sooner we can inspire the creation of these resources, the faster and easier it will be to grow the global movement for a culture of peace.
