He stated, “I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.” Roosevelt’s progressive ideas regarding conservation have led the United States in awareness of the need to preserve our planet for following generations.
