What Carson is known for is her book, Silent Spring, in which she attacks the use of petrochemicals in farming and agriculture. Published in 1962, this book still rings true today about caring for our environment and the adverse effects of using pesticides and fertilizers. Any environmentalist should read her books, it will renew your love of nature and reinvigorate your resolve to protect the precious resource we have.
Have a happy Earth Day!
