DESCRIPTION:Rachel Carson, who is most remembered as the founder of the modern 
 environmental movement with her groundbreaking book, Silent Spring, is an 
 inspiration to anyone who desires to help remake the world for the better. 
 One of the most influential writers and thinkers of the 20th century, she 
 is widely regarded as the founding mother of the modern environmental 
 movement. Her book alerted the American public to the dangers posed by the 
 widespread and careless use of pesticides, particularly DDT and other 
 chlorinated hydrocarbons, which came into widespread distribution during 
 and immediately after WWII. As Carson wrote, “For the first time in the 
 history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with 
 dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death. In the less 
 than two decades of their use, the synthetic pesticides have been so 
 thoroughly distributed throughout the animate and inanimate world that they 
 occur virtually everywhere.” Rachel Carson's life and words are as much a 
 call to action today as they were in the 1960's when she inspired America 
 to "look about us and see what changes we need to make  to preserve our 
 beautiful planet."  Lilith Rogers is a local gardener, activist, actress 
 and writer. .  $10 Donation  \n
