Who we are is what we leave behind. Theodore Roosevelt certainly understood this when, in 1906, he fought the conventional wisdom of his time and set aside millions of acres of land to be preserved for future generations. And it’s something Subaru understood when, over a decade ago, we became the first U.S. automaker to achieve zero landfill, with all waste recycled or turned into electricity. It wasn’t easy. Doing the right thing rarely is. But like President Roosevelt, we made a commitment to something we believe in: the future. It’s this promise, and our passion for the parks, that led us to share our environmental expertise with the National Park Service with the goal of helping them reach zero landfill, and it’s what makes us proud to be a partner in this remarkable film.
