Transcript of a speech given on Theodore Roosevelt Island concerning Theodore Roosevelt’s influence on both technology and conservation policy. The speaker points out Roosevelt’s faith in technology given his execution of both Panama Canal and the White Fleet. The speaker goes on to balance the resulting existence of steam shovels and bull dozers with Roosevelt’s policy of ‘cut-a-tree, plant-a-tree’. The speaker concludes by talking more in-depth about Roosevelt’s groundbreaking legislation regarding resource management.
