Product Overview

Discover the iconic Ecology Flag, a powerful symbol of environmental commitment and action. Originating in the 1970s, this flag was embraced by American environmentalists as a sign of dedication to cleaning and preserving the environment.

Description

The Ecology Flag features a unique design by Ron Cobb, comprising the superimposed letters "e" and "o" from the words "environment" and "organism," creating a shape reminiscent of the Greek letter Θ (Theta). The flag's design, conceived by Jack Shepherd of Look magazine, mirrors the United States flag with thirteen alternating green and white stripes, symbolizing unspoiled land and clean air. The green canton bears the ecology symbol, replacing the stars of the traditional U.S. flag.

History Conceived in 1970 by Jack Shepherd to mark the first Earth Day, the Ecology Flag became a widespread emblem in various environmental movements and events throughout the 1970s. It was first flown in New York City and swiftly made its way to Washington, D.C. for the inaugural Earth Day March. The flag has since been displayed in various settings, from schools and colleges to state parks and climate marches, continually serving as a beacon of environmental awareness and advocacy.
