"The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, and not impaired, in value." Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), USA
Do you think Teddy Roosevelt would be proud of the way we're treating our natureal resources? I seriously doubt that he would. He'd probably think that we're being totally irresponsible in how we're using, and abusing, them. Are most of our citizens recycling instead of sending everythinng to the landfills? Are we keeping our water clean to preserve health? Are we protecting our animals? I'd say that the answer to most of these question is no. Why aren't our leaders providing more ways to recycle? Why aren't our water sources being protected? Why aren't our animals being protected instead of driven into extinction? If every person would start recycling, think about how much difference that would make. Are you doing everything you can to preserve our resources for the next generation? If not, spend a few minutes today, thinking about what more you could do.
I've been busy and haven't been keeping up with my blogging, but I'll try to do better. If you enjoy reading it, please let me know, so I'll know that it's worth continuing to post on a regular basis. I hope you have a wonderful day!
