Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson’s essay provides an interesting look at the environmental apocalypse that could one day, or at this point has already spread across the Earth. It’s an interesting contrast from the article written by Valerie Solonas. I always find it interesting to see how much environmentalism has been ignored. Carson’s essay could have been written yesterday. It goes to show how there have been only small steps in the environmental movement when there needs to be gigantic steps taken to solve the problems we currently face. His essay makes one point, which tends to get lost in the discussion of the environment. It seems that the idea of green house gases and the like over take the idea that as human beings, we are the direct cause to the current issue with the environment, and we’re the only ones who can stop it.
