Intro

Hi, my name is Ty Bailey and I am a Senior at Illinois State University. I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in Legal Studies. I have decided for the semester to research and blog on topics pertaining to the environment. I am interested in the ongoing struggle between man and the environment and how we as a species are contributing to the destruction of our environment.

This is a topic that affects all of us no matter race, religion, gender, geography etc...If our species doesn't change our ways now we might destroy our only home not only for our species, but for all of the animal kingdom. I'll leave you with a quote from President Teddy Roosevelt

"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed."

- Theodore Roosevelt, Dec 3, 1907 (in a message to Congress)
