Earth. Earth Day. April 20, is acknowledged world-wide. A picturesque symbol of this commitment is the new Earth Flag. In recent years, scientists have been stressing the possible doom of mankind, and maybe even the death of Planet Earth itself, because of the profligate use and disposal of materials and other happenings. We ask you to pause for reflection at each display of the Earth Flag in this Pilgrimage '90.
Ask for maps and information about the live oaks at each city’s hostess center. The trees, which are unattended, will be marked with yellow ribbons to express our love.
