              <text>First Lady Lady Bird Johnson was a conservationist and lover of nature. She believed that the environment could help shape people's lives by improving their health and attitudes. In 1964, she established the Society for a More Beautiful National Capital to improve neighborhoods and tourist attractions in Washington, DC. Her projects centered around trash cleanup, building renovation, and &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/432"&gt;planting flowers&lt;/a&gt;. She hoped that Washington would become an example to the rest of the cities of the country for the power of beautification.</text>
