Product Description
This DVD compilation contains films that promote the conservation or mixed use of land. Conservation (responsible use) vs. Preservation (maintaining original condition) was one of the most hotly debated environmental issues of the 20th century and still continues today. Table Of Contents: (1) Rural Holidays (1965) - Sponsored by The U.S. Soil Conservation Service, this bizarre film promotes vacationing to America's farm and ranching lands. Along the way, this film explains the importance of the conservation of natural resources, with a focus on protecting the land for tourists and farmers alike - 24 Minutes (2) Heritage of Splendor (1963) - Narrated by Ronald Reagan and sponsored by an oil company, this vintage film explores the conservation of natural resources. The beginning of this conservation film promotes the efficient management of the country's natural resource as opposed to preservation, and explains how mixed-use land makes everyone happy. Then the film also attacks the littering problem that is sweeping the nation, especially recreational sites. Watchers are urged, as taxpayers, to stop the expensive (500 million/year) litter habit and to live by this motto: "let no man regret that I passed here." - 18 Minutes (3) To Conserve Our Heritage (1940) - This is a wonderful conservation film sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture which promotes the mixed-use of land. Stresses the importance of soil management, wildlife management, and pollution management in maintaining a healthy environment that allows for a variety of uses ranging from fishing and hunting to logging and farming - 25 Minutes |
