"To the Senate and House of Representatives:

The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our national life … As a nation we not only enjoy a wonderful measure of present prosperity but if this prosperity is used aright it is an earnest of future success such as no other nation will have. The reward of foresight for this nation is great and easily foretold. But there must be the look ahead, there must be a realization of the fact that to waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed."—Theodore Roosevelt, from his Seventh Annual Message to Congress, 1907
