1
00:00:10,728 --> 00:00:12,138
It's 1903

2
00:00:12,438 --> 00:00:16,411
and this extraordinary gay 
named Teddy Roosevelt

3
00:00:16,411 --> 00:00:21,001
is standing on the edge 
of the Grand Canyon

4
00:00:21,007 --> 00:00:27,107
and at that time people wanted
to create hotels and spas

5
00:00:27,107 --> 00:00:30,242
and turn the Grand Canyon in 1903 


6
00:00:30,242 --> 00:00:34,211
into	a profit-making disneyland 
of the environment.

7
00:00:34,211 --> 00:00:37,676
And he stood and said no. 


8
00:00:37,676 --> 00:00:41,417
And he created a tipping point for
the environmental movement

9
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:42,868
and for the world.

10
00:00:42,868 --> 00:00:45,785
He said: "leave it as it is.

11
00:00:45,935 --> 00:00:51,455
the ages have been at work on it 
and man can only mar it."

12
00:00:51,455 --> 00:00:54,204
(Aplauses)

13
00:00:54,204 --> 00:00:58,085
The world would have been
a different place today

14
00:00:58,085 --> 00:01:02,811
without those words 
those tipping point words

15
00:01:02,811 --> 00:01:05,031
from Presidente Theodore Roosevelt
