The World Flag was created in 1988 to raise global awareness, inspire innovative solutions and promote action toward challenges facing our world today. It serves as a powerful symbol to inspire action and celebrate the pursuit of positive change. The Flag has flown from New York to Nepal and continues to make its way around the planet spreading its message of unity. (www.theworldflag.org) This is an awesome website that gives a thorough synopsis of each participating country, including international treaties each holds, etc.

The World Flag...I found this card at the Burning Man Decom party in LA. I have thought of this concept many times myself in the form of bumper stickers. Reading peoples SoCal, NorCal, or State stickers on their cars (the purpose in dispalying one-coming from a competitve spirit or pride in where a person comes from) I often ask myself if that all really matters. I used to get frustrated with seeing the stickers because the division and pride seemed unecessary to me. I wanted to see a World sticker, to look beyond the imaginary divisions; towns, counties, states, countries...I found one eventually that showed a globe and stated "We are all in this together," that I put on my car. When I saw this card I became really excited and relieved to see others thinking the same way, that this world does get smaller every day, and to embrace each other and our differences is the direction we must move in order to foster a peaceful place for out grandchildren. This card gave me hope and inspiration that there are people out there bringing Unity to our world. I recommend checking out the website.
