Environmental Button

Description:

The image of the Earth on this button, produced by the Sierra Club in the 1980s, makes it clear the slogan refers to our planet. It’s a play on the late 1960s/early 1970s rant against the protesters of the Vietnam War–stop complaining about America and either love it or leave it.
