"Checking the Waste: A Study in Conservation" by Mary Huston Gregory is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The text serves as a comprehensive exploration of the issue of conservation, emphasizing the importance of managing natural resources responsibly. Gregory elucidates the interconnectedness of human well-being and the preservation of natural wealth, focusing on various resources such as soil, forests, and water. The opening of the book outlines the concept of conservation, stressing that it is not merely a concern for government or corporations but a responsibility shared by all citizens. It describes the historical context of resource use in the United States, detailing the early careless exploitation of abundant natural wealth and the impending consequences of such extravagance. The author warns that future generations could face scarcity unless action is taken to understand and mitigate waste. Furthermore, specifics about soil conservation and its critical role in maintaining agricultural productivity are introduced, setting the stage for a deeper discussion of various resources in subsequent chapters.
