The illustrations and text of this 1943 U. S. government newspaper advertisement are educational and motivational. Our government still needs to explain the benefits and urgent need for conservation. The environment doesn't respect national boundaries; we're all stakeholders. Global manufacturers need to step-up and help taxpayers pay for recycling. When people understand the need for conservation, they will promote and practice it everywhere.
Here's an example of a global conservation event happening this month: Earth Hour 2011
