Throughout the rise of factories in the early 1900's we have constantly seen the lack of care for the environment and nature. Safety procedures were practically non existent and as a result of that we saw some of the earlier examples of pollution. When Henry Ford started the movement for car innovation factories about a total of 9 million cars were produced all throughout the 1920's. The amount of factories needed to produce this amount of cars directly affects the pollution of the world and set a precedent to the amount of pollution in the world today. The only president who did anything to prevent this pollution was Roosevelt who was a progressive. Part of his actions were to save forests and create national parks which would preserve American wildlife. Today we see this issue being countered with electric cars like Prius and Tesla. These cars also use energy but do it more efficiently and without pollution.
