Additional Information

While Earth Day celebrations have taken place across the United States since 1970, this button commemorates the 1980 Earth Day festivities held in New York City. The event was held from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm, from 42nd to 52nd Streets, and included food and drink, live entertainment, exhibits and other setups on environmental themes, and more. The green heart design seen here was created by graphic designer Lancer Wyman specifically for this event.
