FLAG HISTORY:
The
Ecology Flag
is a cultural symbol used primarily in the 1970s by American
environmentalists
.
Ron Cobb
created an
ecology
symbol which he published on November 7, 1969, in the
Los Angeles Free Press
and then placed it in the
public domain
. The symbol was formed by taking the letters "
e
" and "
o
", taken from the words "environment" and "organism", and putting them in superposition, thereby forming a shape reminiscent of the
Greek letter
T
(Theta).
Look
magazine incorporated the symbol into an image of a flag in their April 21, 1970 issue. It widely popularized the theta symbol, which it associated with the Greek word thanatos (death) in light of human threats to the environment and atmosphere of the earth.

The flag was patterned after the
flag of the United States
, and had thirteen stripes alternating green and white. Its
canton
was green with the ecology symbol where the stars would be in the
United States flag
.
One the earliest recorded flying a of the Ecology Flag was in 1971. As a 16-year-old high school student,
Betsy Boze
(Betsy Vogel), an environmental advocate and social activist that enjoyed sewing costumes and unique gifts, made a 4 x 6 foot green and white "theta" ecology flag to commemorate the first Earth Day. Initially denied permission to fly the flag at C.E. Byrd High School in Shreveport, Louisiana. Vogel sought and received authorization from the Louisiana Legislature and Louisiana Governor
John McKeithen
in time to display the flag for Earth Day.
