The following Earthday or ECOLOGY Flag was created by artist and cartoonist Ron Cobb in 1969 as a result of the environmental movement of the sixties.
According to legend, it was created as a combination of the letters e and o, from the words environment and organism. This flag was also based on the Stars and Stripes of the US Flag. Green was substituted in place of blue and red. The colors represent "pure air and green land" and environmental action.
