1969 'Give Earth a Chance' Environmental Movement Button

This is a circa 1969 "Give Earth a Chance" environmental movement celluloid button. These buttons were distributed by the Environmental Action for Survival Committee at the University of Michigan, who borrowed the slogan from the anti-Vietnam cry "Give peace a chance". The slogan and idea gained impetus and was in common usage by the first Earth Day in April 1970. The button is bright yellow with a globe at center.

Circa 1969.

Approximately 1-11/16" in diameter.

Celluloid-wrapped tin.

Horizontal safety-style pin.

Teach In April 22, 1970 along edge.

This is from a political and Americana collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay MAX14 LFJX6/14 SFJX8/15

8 (Excellent-): The button has very little wear, mostly on reverse.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
