Wear a Leaf is an informal, unofficial, and not-for-profit organization dedicated to making world peace a reality.

It is based on and inspired by the plan for world peace outlined in Bernard Benson's great 1980 work, The Peace Book, in which the people of the world all unite to show the leaders that they want peace.

How do they do this? By all wearing a common symbol of peace... a leaf.

It worked in Benson's book, and we believe that it can work in the real world, too.

So if you are committed to world peace, don't be afraid to show the world. Wear a real leaf, a paper leaf, a cardboard leaf, a plastic leaf, a foam leaf, a metal leaf, or a leaf made out of anything you want. Let everyone see how numerous you are, and how committed you are. Together, we can make it happen.

Give the gift of peace. This holiday season, show a loved one that you care for them by making them a leaf pin. It will be a gift not only to them, but to the world.
