• The ecology flag is from the 1970s and is used as a sign of people’s commitment to clean up the environment. It was patterned after the U.S. flag with 13 stripes alternating green and white, with green representing unspoiled land and white representing clean air.
• The yellow symbol is a combination of “e” for environment and “o” for organism.
