#IDedicateThisWeekTo Rachel Carson, an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist whose book Silent Spring and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement.
Rachel Carson

Although Silent Spring was met w/ fierce opposition by chemical companies,it spurred a reversal in nat’l pesticide policy,which led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides. It inspired a grassroots environmental movement that led to the creation of the EPA.
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

Rachel Carson
Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species -- man -- acquired significant power to alter the nature of the world.

Rachel Carson
We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature.
