The lighthouse represents the Green Party's desire to become the beacon to lead the community into the Green safe harbor where community and political activism can flourish.

The sunflower is used as a symbol by many Green parties around the world. In March 1983, 27 newly elected Die Grunen (Green) members of the West German Parliament, the Bundestag, entered the parliament building wearing bright colors and carrying sunflowers. The sunflower, which grows rapidly and produces many seeds, became the symbol of the new party. Pictures of the event were carried in the media around the world and helped inspire others in the U.S. and other places to begin organizing green movements in their own countries.

(The lighthouse was originally drawn by Robin Waayers. The sunflower was added by Tammy Tatum who created most of the artwork for this site)
