1900-1910 At the beginning of the 20th century, New York's editorials said in the 20th century that "America is convinced the world is enviable" (World History) timetable "1900-1901"). The President is Teddy Roosevelt and he enjoys a great fame for the universal happiness of the American people. The prosperous industry creates a lot of work for immigrants and other people. In 1901, the New York Stock Exchange exceeded 2 million shares for the first time (World History Timetable "1900-1901"). This is a memorial event.
But the situation is beginning to change. By 1905, during the term of President Naturalist Teddy Roosevelt, 4 million acres of Washington forest were protected by the federal government. Between 1900 and 1910, a new law was enacted to control unregulated purification and to establish a national forest committee and incineration permission system. In 1907, the University of Washington established a forestry university to promote the management of state natural resources. Over time, the overall tactics of deforestation will be replaced by selective logging of mature trees. This will also cause problems in the coming years
Important environmental concepts, that is, the need for people to actively participate in environmental protection, may be conveyed to the public for the first time in the beginning of the 20th century. Between 1900 and 1910, the number of North American wildlife populations was at the lowest point in history. The population of Beaver, Orgy, Canadian goose, wild turkey and many ducks is almost extinct from market hunting and loss of habitat. These declines are obvious to the public when most of them lived in rural areas. As a result, a new protection law was enacted (eg "Les Act"), the first national wildlife sanctuary was created.
The social impact of rural areas is particularly great. Between 1900 and 1910, a local newspaper in Illinois state reported that each new car arrived in the town. Geographer John A. Jakle wrote that the car "relaxes the relationship and becomes rocking the horizon before becoming unstable." Suddenly farmers can get out of the grocery store and the local bank. The era of processed food began. Fine brands from countries such as Heinz sauce, Campbell soup, Quaker oats, jelly, Coca-Cola were invented and the cabinets began to fill up. In the 1920 's, the American ate Kellogg' s cornflakes and invented it in 1894 instead of the morning breakfast of the 1970 's pork and cereals, orange juice.
