Rachel Carson's landmark book "Silent Spring" -- which helped to launch the modern environmental movement -- was first published on this day in 1962. The marine biologist and author's famous work documented the dangers of indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides, especially on bird populations. Though its publication was met with strong opposition from the chemical industry, the scientific community largely supported her conclusions. "Silent Spring" also served as a rallying point for the young environment movement just gaining momentum at the time of its publication.

The book fueled public interest in environmental and public health issues and, within a few years, the Nixon Administration formed the Environmental Protection Agency. Much of the EPA's early work focused on issues raised by Carson's work such as a 1972 law regulating pesticides and a US ban on the agricultural use of DDT. Carson's book "Silent Spring" is considered one of the twentieth century's most influential works of non-fiction and, in 2006, the editors of Discover Magazine named it one of the 25 greatest science books of all time. For her many contributions to environmental conservation, President Carter posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Her pioneering work "Silent Spring" is still in print today and available at https://amzn.to/3EWGn4L

To introduce children to the trailblazing Rachel Carson, we highly recommend "Spring After Spring: How Rachel Carson Inspired the Environmental Movement" for ages 5 to 9 (https://www.amightygirl.com/spring-after-spring) and "Who Was Rachel Carson" for ages 8 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/who-was-rachel-carson)

There is also an excellent biography / science activity guide, "Rachel Carson and Ecology for Kids," for ages 9 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/rachel-carson-and-ecology-for-kids

For adult readers, we highly recommend "On A Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson" (https://www.amightygirl.com/on-a-farther-shore) and "Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature" (https://www.amightygirl.com/rachel-carson-witness)

Do you feel frustrated you cannot get GP’s to work with you in collaboration?
Do you wish you understood how to communicate with GP’s so they would listen?
Dr Jenna has faced similar challenges and can bring her unique perspective as a GP and a holistic practitioner.
Our goal is to understand the issues, learn how to write effective communication and have a deeper understanding of the barriers in place to integration.

Editorial from The New England Journal of Medicine — Call for Emergency Action to Limit Global Temperature Increases, Restore Biodiversity, and Protect Health

In April 2014, the Rodale Institute published a white paper that outlines how agricultural techniques available today could sequester sufficient amounts of atmospheric carbon to slow down climate change and reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the long term by fixing carbon in agricultural soil.

Regenerative agricultural practices can help to build fertile soils, to maintain and often increase agricultural yields, and to support ecological abundance by nurturing healthy ecosystem functioning:

“Simply put, recent data from farming systems and pasture trials around the globe show that we could sequester more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions with a switch to widely available and inexpensive organic management practices, which we term ‘regenerative organic agriculture’. These practices work to maximize carbon fixation while minimizing the loss of carbon once returned to the soil, reversing the greenhouse effect. [original italics].” — Rodale Institute (2014)

Robert Rodale coined the term ‘regenerative organic agriculture’ to indicate that these practices are more than simply ‘sustainable’, taking advantage of the natural tendencies of ecosystems to regenerate when disturbed.
