Rachel Carson's wonderful book, "Silent Spring," launched the environmental movement and showed people of the world how important it is to care about the consequences of human activity.
Some folk refuse to accept this.
Those people need to visit sites of former Soviet military and manufacturing operations in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Entire regions remain today utterly desolated, so ruined and poisoned no one can live there.
"Environmentalism" is not a political ideology or a religious principle - it is first an awareness that what we people do affects the world around us, and then, a thoughtful concern for the consequences.

You have Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring and famed environmental advocate confused with Julia "Butterfly" Hill, who lived in a tree for two years.

That is the website for her organization. Unfortunately, she died back in the 60's, but her work still lives on.
