We were and are very wasteful with the products we are using, and both times, paid no attention to the world and how it's being affected by our poor actions. Also, both times, deforestation, or the cutting down of trees, was/is a thing. Animals are still being affected by our poor actions as they were during the Progressive Era.

We are overusing valuable fossil fuels and destroying the O-zone layer, which keeps our Earth from heating up from the Sun's rays. Without an O-zone layer, there is nothing stopping Earth from overheating. Also, there are tons of plastic in our oceans, killing fish and ocean wildlife. At the same time, we are cutting down trees and parts of forests faster than ever, much faster than they can regrow.

Valuable resources were being drained from the ground, to be used for machinery, and it was damaging Earth. Also, mining companies were playing a huge part. They were being very wasteful with the materials being pulled out of the ground. Above ground, land speculators and developers were taking over large amounts of forest for grazing. This means they were destroying forests where many wild animals lived so that they could grow their cattle, where they would eventually kill to either sell or eat the meat and body parts.

Both times, these reformers were high in power and used it to their advantages. They both focused mainly on water and air pollution, since they are being affected by pollution the most. They all made it their one goal to put an end to pollution and promoted conservation.

The EDA (Environmental Protection Agency): The EDA is issuing regulations limiting air toxins from things like chemical plants, steel mills, oil refineries, etc.
DOE: DOE launched the Plastics Innovation Challenge, and their goal is to stop the use of 90% of plastics. Also, to achieve at least 75% carbon utilization.

Theodore Roosevelt: He became a man of action and put an end to wasteful uses of raw materials, and helped reclaim neglected pieces of land. These two were known as the Roosevelt Era.
Inland Waterways Commission: In 1907, they studied rivers, soil, forest, waterpower development, and water transportation, and how pollution is affecting them.
National Conservation Commission: in 1909, this commission made plans to preserve natural resources, and to keep the air and water clean.

Our current goal is to completely, or at least somewhat stop air and water pollution, before it is too late and our world is ruined/destroyed forever. We have many people in our world who are promoting conservation, and trying to get companies to stop selling so many products with harmful materials in them.

Theodore Roosevelt promoted conservation to the world, and accomplished regaining neglected land, and making it useful again to people such as farmers. Everyone saw him as a hero, because of how much he changed pollution, however he did not fully stop pollution.

Both times, these people were/are trying to completely put an end to pollution, or at least lessen it so that Earth isn't being affected as much. They also were both trying to advocate for conservation. However, this is a very hard challenge, because the world depends so much on fossil fuels and plastics, that it is very difficult to make a dent in the amount of harmful materials we use. We rely on these things to work and live a "normal" life.
