    This picture radiates the perfect memory to honor This picture radiates the perfect memory to honor and celebrate a remarkable individual - President Jimmy Carter on the occasion of his 100th birthday, October 1st In 2002, he received the Nobel Peace Prize. Carter and my Dad, #tedturner have a special bond of friendship rooted in so many of the same beliefs for making the world better through environmental stewardship and humanitarian efforts. In 2013 - my Dad presented the Exemplar Award to his pal, Carter, during the @captainplanetfdn annual fundraiser to honor him as an environmental superhero. During his time in office Carter initiated and launched a comprehensive energy program by a new Department of Energy and major environmental protections legislation and even put solar panels on the White House. He also secured the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Post presidency - Carter and former First Lady, Rosalyn Carter - created @thecartercenter Carter Center in partnership with Emory University "waging peace, fighting disease and providing hope to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health." The Carter Center's work to eradicate Guinea worm disease and river blindness is truly awe-inspiring. In 1986, an international campaign was launched to eradicate Guinea worm. An estimated 3.5 million cases in 21 countries in Africa and Asia made it a Herculean task. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99 percent! The Carter Center also works to eliminate river blindness, not just control it, in Africa and Latin America. If you are like me - you will feel inspired to support this work by making a donation to @thecartercenter The Carter Center in his honor. See link in bio or visit -- https://www.cartercenter.org/donate/index.html What a remarkable living legacy President Carter. We are all indebted to the gifts your leadership and heart has provided, including your nearly 3 dozen books which set forth your ideals to impact the world positively. Happy Birthday President Carter!

    @kailash.satyarthi Kailash Satyarthi - Nobel Peace @kailash.satyarthi Kailash Satyarthi - Nobel Peace Prize Laureate - makes remarks on #internationaldayofpeace. He rescued 250,000 children from slavery! Love and compassion are most important. He says put compassion into action. #internationaldayofpeace
    #internationaldayofpeace Today is The Internation #internationaldayofpeace Today is The International Day of Peace for promoting peace across the globe. My message may look unusual, but we can't have peace without food and water. Regenerative agriculture, adaptive and regenerative grazing is the answer. These are scalable solutions for climate and the extinction crisis. It's all about the life below ground - roots so deep and soil microbes. Soil heroes like mycelium - mycorrhizal fungi, methanotrophs and earthworms bring this hidden world to life!
