The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennessee Valley Authority had positive impacts on work and the environment during the great depression. The bill proposing the Civilian Conservation Corps was voted on and passed on March 31, 1933 under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority was formed May 18 of this same year to work on easing environmental strains in the Tennessee Valley. Roosevelt’s goal when he became president was to improve the economy and environment, and to help raise America from the depression. When he had been governor of New York he had created a public works program similar to the TVA on a smaller scale and it had been met with success. As a result he was encouraged to expand

The ultimate aspiration of the conservation movement was to empower society to proficiently and effectively utilize its natural resources. Since the founding of the United States, Americans have become dependent upon the existence of raw materials. With the further western expansion, and the increasing population, nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal were in high demand. Although there was a sudden increase in the demand for these resources, the supply of the resource stayed constant. Specifically, conservation highlighted the new idea behind environmentalism, the concern for maintaining the environment. The popularity of conservation came from individuals newfound focus on the environment, as the western frontier had officially been closed. This was due in part to Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot’s philosophies and mandates, which spearheaded efforts to have Americans view their use and abuse of their environment differently, and their resulting benefits.

Since approximately 1250 B.C., ancient Egyptians had created and practiced the capture and display of animals in what are now known as zoos (Fravel). Records describe such exotic animals as birds, lions, giraffes, and tigers in captivity (Fravel). Since then, zoos have continued to entertain millions with the exciting chance to view exotic animals up close and personal. Even in ancient Greece, exotic animals were on display in fighting arenas, and in enclosed viewing areas. Originally in America, zoos were just created so that royalty and the wealthy could flaunt their exotic animals to the public (Leolupus). Today, with species threatened and habitats disappearing worldwide, zoos are serving a new purpose other than the mere exhibition of
