| Earth Flag |
It is a Native American saying that we do not inherit the world from our parents, we borrow
it
from our children. Whether your passion is for a world safe from conflict or a world in harmony
with nature, or both, the Authentic Earth Flag, is our one symbol:
a Flag for all people.
http://www.earthflag.net
"The Earth is my symbol of the task before us all ... Only in the last quarter of my life have we
come to know what it means to be custodians of the future of the Earth - to know that unless we care,
unless we check the rapacious exploitations of our Earth and protect it, we are endangering the future
of our children and our children's children. We did not know this before, except in little pieces.
People knew they had to take care of their own, but it was not until we saw the picture of Earth from
the moon that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is -
something that we must hold in our arms and care for."
Margaret Mead, Earth Day, March 21, 1977
(her last Earth Day celebration) |
