Pinciples of conservation: Gifford Pinchot

In this selection, We discover how, as Pinchot describes, natural resources were wrongly used back in the 18th century. Conservation was regarded as the use of natural resources to the fullest in order to meet the needs of solely the present generation. Thus, satisfying the political, economic and public benefit without sacrificing any desires and making every needed use of our natural resources. Next, the prevention of waste was discovered to be of economic benefit. Thus, further enhancing human's credibility of the exertion of control on earth.  Finally, the principle of conservation is directly related to the interest of the public. Therefore, the use of common sense and public education are crucial to national efficiency.
