2. During my childhood never saw a bald eagle in the wild.

Today I live within 5 miles of 3 active bald eagle nests. Since DDT had a deadly effect on eagles and other raptors, think what it was doing to the human population!

"Silent Spring is an environmental science book by Rachel Carson.[1] Published on September 27, 1962, the book documented the environmental harm caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation, and public officials of accepting the industry's marketing claims unquestioningly." - Wikipedia

Thank you, Rachel Carlson!
