I have always been very concerned about conservation issues facing my country’s natural resources from renewable ones like forests to saving ecological crown jewels in America’s National Parks. The scene during the audio-animatronics show called American Adventure in Epcot’s World Showcase with President Teddy Roosevelt and Jon Muir is my favorite. It reminds me of how long people have been talking about balancing industrial progress and population growth with conservation of the environment.

It is people like them from America’s history we have to thank for the farsightedness of preserving unique wild areas, geological wonders and historical places. I hope Americans never lose that vision as they celebrate the United States of America’s 241st Birthday today.
