who designed the earth day flag in 1969?
john mcconnell
mcconnell's concern for the environment grew in the late 1950s and early 1970s. a christian, he believed humans have an obligation to take care of the earth, and to share its resources equally, based on such passages as , "the earth has been given to the children of men." he was moved when he saw the first picture of the earth printed in "life" magazine. later that picture became the symbol on the earth day flag which he designed and created. the earth day flag was featured in the "whole earth catalogue" and has been used ever since, all around the world, to show support of efforts to help people and planet. the earth day flag is a symbol of earth day and is still part of the earth day ceremony each year on the spring equinox at the united nations.
