Transcription: Unless we do bring these chemicals under better control, we are certainly headed for disaster. Rachel Carson, author of the landmark book Silent Spring, started a revolution. During the 1950s when crop dusting planes and insect sprays blanketed plants with DDT, Carson warned of the dangers of chemical pesticides. She warned of science's power to alter nature and called for government action to protect its citizens. Because of her courage, the disaster did not come to pass. and with Carson's words and spirit, the modern environmental movement was born.
