Exactly who is Bpeace?  Bpeace (Business Council for Peace) believes the path to peace is lined with jobs.

More jobs mean less violence.®   Why you should care?  Generosity and sustainability are intrinsically linked.  While we are here on this planet, at this precise time in history, many of us want to make a difference in the way we treat our environment and our world.  Many of us want to make a significant contribution to the role business takes in shaping our economy, society, and environment.  DanceGiving is addressing those needs.    Click here to continue reading.   Home to one third of the earth's trees, the Taiga is the largest land-based biosphere and encircles the globe.
