Happy Birthday Rachael Carson

[Catherine]

I am a day late, but we owe Rachael Carson so much that I still want to mention her.

I am posting the Wikipedia link because it has so much about her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Carson

To sum it up, she wrote a book, Silent Spring, warning about the dangers of pesticide use. The book and Rachael's work is considered to have inspired the grassroots environmental movement. Without her, who knows where things would be. Getting DDT banned saved many birds from extinction.
(Of course many people are still against what she wrote, especially the chemical companies)

We owe her so much. She did not live a long life, but she had impact.
So Thanks Rachael. We still remember the good you did.
