Reflection
After reading this article, Rachel Carson is a very influencing person but its a very pity that she died so soon. She is one of the person who changed how people see things about the environment and today, if it were not for her warning and her opinions then many people could have died of DDT and the environment could have worse. She is very determined to show her opinion to the public to change for the greater good. I never knew since I was learning about the environment, she should have been more recognized for her determination and how she wants to change the Earth for a positive change. She's done so many things, laws are passed and more people are more aware of the environment, I'm thankful for her.
