"Make Every Day Earth Day!"

Poster designed by Peter Max and commissioned by the U.N. as the official artwork for Earth Day, 1992.

Tim Medland, curator of We Tried to Warn You! Environmental Crisis Posters, 1970–2020, notes that Peter Max’s psychedelic image “shows a joyous, idealized world […] Rather than warning of a bleak future if more care is not taken of the planet, the artist highlights positivity.” 

Max’s image spread across the world on a series of U.S. postage stamps used for that year’s Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
