is an original "Give Earth A Chance" button from the first Earth Day in 1970! The rim of the button reads: "Environmental Teach-In - U of M - Enact." 's more background on this button from The Journal of American History website- "In 1969 the Environmental Action for Survival Committee at the University of Michigan began to sell buttons with a slogan that played off a rallying cry common in the protests against the Vietnam War. Instead of "Give Peace a Chance," the buttons urged Americans to "Give Earth a Chance." Newsweek soon asked if the buttons might be symbols of a new age of conservation. By spring 1970, when the nation celebrated the first Earth Day, the slogan was ubiquitous."
