Celebrating Rachel Carson’s 100th Birthday

May 27th would have been Rachel Carson’s 100th birthday.  The scientist and writer was way ahead of her times when she wrote and published Silent Spring in 1962, in which she chronicled the misuse of pesticides.  Carson’s work with Silent Spring and her testimonials before congress helped encourage the public to learn more about how to protect the environment.  Her legacy helped establish the popular environmental advocacy that exists today.

Happy Birthday Rachel Carson!
