Earth Day | Violet's Vegan Comics

In 1992, Earth Day Canada‘s original Earth Flag campaign collected signatures from 500,000 people and the mosaic flag traveled to the Earth Summit in Rio, when the first international agreement on climate change was signed.

Looking ahead to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris later this year, Earth Day Canada’s 2015 goal is to collect one million signatures – especially those from children and youth, whose future depends on our collective action today!

Time is running short now but if you want to join in and encourage your school or community to contribute to the 2015 Earth flag, click here to find out how 🙂
