Enjoy - Don't Destroy: A Vintage Poster from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Promoting the Appreciation of Nature This poster, titled "Enjoy - Don't Destroy," dates back to either 1936 or 1937, showcasing the simple yet powerful message of preserving nature. The image features two children, their faces filled with joy and wonder, as they delicately pick flowers from a lush meadow. Their innocent actions symbolize the enjoyment and appreciation of nature, while also emphasizing the importance of not destroying it in the process. During the Great Depression, the United States government launched the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program. The WPA aimed to provide employment opportunities for millions of unemployed Americans through various public works projects, including the creation and distribution of posters. These posters addressed a wide range of social issues, from education and health to conservation and community engagement. The "Enjoy - Don't Destroy" poster is a beautiful example of the WPA's efforts to promote environmental awareness and instill a sense of responsibility towards nature in the American public. The poster's striking design, featuring the children in a serene and idyllic setting, effectively conveys the importance of enjoying nature without causing harm. This vintage poster is not only a testament to the progress made in environmental consciousness during the 1930s but also a reminder of the enduring importance of appreciating and preserving our natural world for future generations. The "Enjoy - Don't Destroy" message remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with environmental challenges and strive to find a balance between human progress and the preservation of our planet.
