"...the president and Congress have not stepped up to the challenge of providing national and world leadership on the environmental crisis. In fact, on some key issues, they are actually resisting or reversing progress made in the past 30 to 40 years. And without strong, sustained leadership from the president and Congress, the urgent challenge to protect the environment and create a sustainable society cannot succeed. Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a top priority for the Republican Party, and many members of his party carried that torch over the years. Recently, however, the GOP leadership has abandoned this cause."
