Today RioVey films honors Rachel Carson, fearless ecological advocate and author of bestselling book, Silent Spring. Concerned by declining bird populations due to chemical overuse, Carson shared facts about synthetic pesticides, including DDT, that shocked our nation. Though chemical companies vehemently opposed her, she maintained that the indiscriminate use of pesticides was, in fact, inhumane. Rachel Carson changed minds and legislation. In the spring of 1963, the same year Carson testified before Congress about pesticide use, CBS aired its report “The Silent Spring of Rachel Carson.” #RachelCarson #environmentalist #environment #book #bestseller #CBS #spring #SilentSpring #birds #carcinogens #cancer
