If the public knew what is already possible, then they would have every reason to be optimistic about the future that can be built.

My bible.
When I feel low or caught in a restless unease I can’t quite explain, I come back to this book and go spend some time in nature.

No, banning DDT didn't cause "countless deaths".

It's a lie made by monsters and spread by fools.

DDT was discovered in like 1860. By 1960 the mosquitos were immune.

Because of course they were.

Countries kept using it after the ban. It did nothing to stop malaria deaths.

Hay criaturas de cinco años que viven angustiadas pensando que los osos polares se están quedando sin hielo, pero nunca han tenido tiempo de quedarse mirando cómo saca los cuernos un caracol.

#RachelCarson published “The Sea Around Us” in 1951, and #SilentSpring 64 years ago yesterday. An expose’ on the environmental & public health harms from DDT, the latter was a key catalyst of the modern environmental movement. Saw an exhibit of her work at Yale’s #BeineckeLibrary

Color photograph of a large sign on an Exhibit of Rachel Carson’s work at the Beinecke Rare Book Libray at Yale. Carson, a marine biologist turned environmental writer, published The Sea Around Us in 1951 and Silent Spring in 1962 -- the latter about the environmental and public health harm from DDT became a key catalyst in creating the modern environmental movement. It was an interesting and elucidating exhibit.

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" was released on this day 62 years ago. I have a first edition & come back to it often, including this paragraph in the chapter "Obligation to Endure."
It's worth reading.

"We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts."
Cover of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson The last paragraph in the Silent Spring chapter Obligation to Endure, reads, in part, " We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts... The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. In the words of Jean Rostand, "The obligation to endure gives us the right to know."

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

#SilentSpring by #RachelCarson was published on #ThisDayInHistory in 1962. It highlighted the effects of rampant #pesticide use, helping to kick off a global #environmental movement. She was attacked as a "hysterical" communist for daring to question the actions of corporations.

On this day in 1962, Rachel Carson’s 'Silent Spring' was published.

Its warnings about DDT helped spark the modern environmental movement.

And fittingly, Carson was born in Springdale, Pennsylvania and died in Silver Spring, Maryland!

Good on you!!
Jealous 😉

I was 7 or 8 when my Mom got a copy, and quickly finished reading it. I can visualize how she wept while she did…
And I read it from the moment she put it down.
Changed my life.
In the best way possible 🙏

Rachel Carson fought political appointments to protect the environment. She used her pen as a weapon, writing letters to the editor, papers, and books to demand change: writenowcoach.com/what-my-lite... #writingtip #amwriting #rachelcarson
