CONSERVATION PLEDGE
I pledge to protect and conserve the natural resources of the plant Earth and promise to promote education so we may become caretakers of our air, water, forests, land and wildlife. Did you know? America's Conservation Pledge is a creed defining the term "conservation" and the calling the attention of all to the necessity for preserving our remaining natural resources. The Pledge had its origin in a national competition, with $5,000.00 in prizes, sponsored by Outdoor Life magazine in 1946. Officials of the federal and state governments actively supported the competition by helping to publicize it in schools, among sportsman's clubs and elsewhere. More than 15,000 entries were received. Each person who submitted a pledge also had to write an essay on the necessity for conservation. The winning Pledge was written by L.L. Foreman of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The pledge was revised in 1993. The pledge runs on the letters page of every issue of Outdoor Life. |
