109. THE EARTH FLAG
One of the most famous NASA's photographies of the Earth - by the Apollo 17 crew on December 7th 1972 - the AS17-148-22727, named Blue Marble, has been chosen as the (non official) Earth flag.
Both celebrations of the International Earth Day use this image on their flag - the original one on March 21st (the Equinox) and the other one on April 22nd.
Does the fact that March 21st has so many different celebrations mean that there is some lack of imagination around?
And besides, every day is good to celebrate the Earth!
