Not signed
All: Private collection, Vienna
Commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry for the Environment, Youth and the Family under Minister Marilies Flemming. The environmental sign can be awarded to any product which is less of a burden on the environment than others thanks to improvements in production resulting in fundamentally environment-friendly processes, and which thus contributes to protecting our habitat.
Hundertwasser's design features a globe surrounded by a ring. Around this globe, green and blue trees are growing, symbols of vegetation and air. The environmental sign was intended in various colours:
green: for products which are more environmentally friendly in several categories
blue: for particular protection of air and water
brown: for steps taken to protect the soil and the plant or animal world
red: for environmental steps which lead to a reduction of required energy
yellow: for steps to reduce noise levels.
The evironmental sign was awarded for the first time in 1991.
