Our Vision of Peace

Peace is not the absence of conflict - it is the fertile ground where prosperity grows.  We envision a world without borders where all inhabitants can enjoy unlimited abundance.  For our part, we will be doing peaceful, fair trade business worldwide and contributing to worthy causes.  
It is our goal to offer socially-responsible products, and to tithe at least 10% of any profits to support humanitarian health and educational missions.

---------------------About the Symbol-----------------

The symbol originated as the logo of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). In the United States and much of the rest of the world it is known more broadly as the peace symbol.

It was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist and a graduate of the Royal College of Arts. It was designed from the naval code of semaphore, and the symbol represents the code letters for ND – Nuclear Disarmament.
The symbol is not one of protest; it is a symbol of unity. It is fitting today that the symbol’s meaning embraces the ideas of peaceful resolution of conflict, peace in general, and the need to disarm nuclear threats worldwide.
