Clean up the planet earth flower

“It is a question of discipline,…when you’ve finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care…”
Antoine de Saint Exupery
“The Little Prince”

This Soviet environmental poster was created in 1980 by artist V. Lyakhov. It features a striking image of a large pink flower with the Earth depicted at its center, symbolizing the planet’s fragility and beauty. The accompanying text is a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, reminding people to care for both themselves and the world around them each day. The artwork emphasizes personal responsibility and collective discipline in protecting the planet. Produced in Dnepropetrovsk, the poster reflects the Soviet Union’s growing attention to ecological awareness during the late 20th century. It remains a vivid example of propaganda art blending literature, nature, and global consciousness.
