The "Seeds of Change" exhibition is an award winning exhibition created by Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and The Earth Charter Initiative, first shown at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002.

This exhibition is based on the Earth Charter initiative focuses on three crucial questions:
What's going on? A few people enjoy lives of relative comfort, while most people in our world struggle to survive in impoverished conditions. Also, we are destroying the Earth we live, polluting the air, poisoning the rivers, driving other species to extinction.

Things cannot continue as they? No matter how complex global problems may seem, it is we ourselves who have given rise to them. Therefore, they cannot be beyond our power to resolve.

OBJECTIVES:

  • To promote the concept of sustainable living.
  • To imaginatively develop and apply the vision of a sustainable way of life locally, nationally, regionally, and globally.
