"Palas Por Pistolas’ is a world-wide campaign to make communities safer. Our mission is achieved through only one very specific procedure, which is to turn weapons into shovels to plant trees.
For every weapon that is destroyed one tree is planted."
The project was initiated by the mexican artist Pedro Reyes, in collaboration with the Botanical Garden of Culiacán, a city in western Mexico, where the first campaign took place:
1527 guns were melted and made into 1527 shovels to plant 1527 trees.
