I am writing to you today about the the dyer need for reform within the United State’s Chemical industry. The chemical industry needs more regulation and lacks restrictions that protect mankind from toxicity. Three reasons why there is a need for change is one, unregulated harmful pesticides are bad for the planet. Secondly, toxic chemicals hurt mankind. And lastly, it is apparent that there is a trend within the chemical production system that postpones planes that apply restrictions to certain chemicals being produced. The esteemed Marine Biologist Rachel Carson, sheds light on the loopholes within the chemical production industry during her time, in her essay titled, Silent Spring. Rachel Carson an expert in her field, reveals the loopholes within the chemical production industry during her time. Our author begins by describing an untouched and rich landscape full of greenery and wildlife, not unlike the Garden of Eden. However, as the land becomes populated and soon overrun by mankind it loses its beauty. …show more content…

Many of these chemicals such as insecticides and pesticides, have many harmful attributes. But because there are limited restrictions on the production and use of them mankind as well as our one and only earth is being exposed to toxic chemicals. These toxic chemicals often used in agriculture sink into our soil and are sprayed onto the food that we consume. These chemicals are also designed to kill off certain insects that are detrimental many ecosystems. An article written by senior scientist Richard Denison Ph.D. from the Environmentalist Defense Fund. Denison writes about the plan that was passed by the TSCA in 2016 because many stakeholders agreed that the US needed a firmer federal chemical system. However, 18 months later in December 2017 the EPA backburnered the proposed restrictions on uses of three highly toxic

    Rachel Carson, before publishing Silent Spring, would major in marine zoology at Pennsylvania Women's College, where she would develop her interest in the naturalism and conservation going on at the time (Lear, 23). After graduating, she would take a job at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, where she would write about different issues concerning the environment at the time. After writing several books to some success, she would begin work on Silent Spring, as she would find her naturalist causes to be her impetus. She even later on in her life wrote to her friends, What I discovered was that everything which meant most to me as a naturalist was being threatened, and that nothing I could do would be more important. " (Carson, 17)

    By citing credible organizations and offering her own eco-friendly alternatives, she proves to the reader that she takes a particular interest in the environment and is educated to speak on it. Pairing powerful understatements and hyperboles to contrast with one another show the reader that the practice is both needless and selfish. These rhetorical techniques have a powerful impact on the reader, whose ignorance prior to reading the excerpt can no longer suffices to excuse the lack of action.

    No one really knows the long-term effects of these substances, individually or in unpredictable combination, either on human health or on the health of the ecosystems upon which we, and all life, depend. The chemicals are not the same as the ones Carson indicted in Silent Spring, yet they are produced, sold, and used on an unsuspecting public by the same interconnected complex of profit-driven companies and government authorities. Carson’s words in her “Fable for Tomorrow” still apply, as if we lived in the future that she imagined: “No witchcraft, no enemy action” had produced our “stricken world. The people had done it themselves” (Carson, 1962,

    In 1962, the publication of Silent Spring Rachel Carson captivated the American public. Carson wrote about the harmful effects of chemical pesticides in the environment, and her writing was very reflective of the events occurring at the time. There is a strong connection between Carson’s writing and the Cold War. In fact, if it were not for the war, the American public may not have responded in the same way to Carson’s writing. Carson used tone and content as methods of getting her point across to the public. Silent Spring shined a light on the damage done to the environment as a result of the Cold War, and this issue was finally being recognized by American public.

    In August 1945, the United States dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When she began writing Silent Spring in the 1950s, Carson was acutely aware of the short and long term impacts of these events (Carson, 1962). As a naturalist and scientists, she worried about the long term effects of nuclear fallout and the misuse of pesticides. Her work for the U.S. Department of Fisheries gave her unique insight into the rapid ecological system changes due to pesticide use and our own culpability in creating the insect and pest problem to begin with (Biography, 2011).

    For instance, in Seeds of Death, Monsanto spread roundup, a pesticide, on their crops and realized a roundup resistance bacteria continued to grow. In response to this, Monsanto collected the bacteria and took a piece of its DNA to create roundup resistant crops. Although this seems like a good idea, it makes crops weaker and makes it easier for crops to be wiped out by a stronger disease. In addition to this, the pesticides also pull nutrients from the soil, therefore resulting in the microorganisms in the soil being killed. This, in turn, leads to the soil being filled with poison and also being infertile in the near future. The worst part about these pesticides is that once it enters the environment, it’s in the environment

  • Organic vs. Conventional Foods

    1106 Words  | 3 Pages

    To help keep crops from being destroyed, conventional farmers use many methods such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Nearly 1 billion pounds of these chemicals are used every year (“pesticides”). Because of this excessive use, some scientists express concern that using artificial chemicals in the farming process could produce unhealthy crops. People who ate it over a long period of time could suffer from degraded health and stunted growth (“Organic Foods”). For example, in 1989, the EPA banned the use of Alar which was a chemical used to ripen apples (“Farming, Organics”). This chemical proved to be carcinogenic after causing tumors in mice after several laboratory tests (“Organic Food”). As a result of these findings there was a dramatic increase of the sales for organic food (“Organic Food”). Another study found that Atrazine (one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States) has the potential of being carcinogenic and reducing sperm counts in males (“Organic Food”). This was further proven when evidence was found that chemicals u...

  • Argumentative Essay On Pesticides

    864 Words  | 2 Pages

    As time has progressed, there has always been an overarching need for high amounts of crop production throughout the world. With the rapid rate of population growth, the need for crops and other sources of nutrients is only increasing. In order to meet these high demands and increase yields, farmers and other agriculturalists have started implementing the use of pesticides. These chemical mixtures are being used in order to prevent, destroy, repel or mitigate any pests from destroying growing crops. However, using pesticides on crops can create massive amounts of pollution, negatively affect an individual’s health, and can spark biodiversity loss within an ecosystem. According to Michael C.R. Alavanja, “Over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used within the United States (US) each year and approximately 5.6 billion pounds are used worldwide”. With all this in mind, it is clear that pesticides should not be made available to farmers and agriculturalists, and should

    Carson was the only environmentalist and the only woman featured in the entire issue. Evidently, her impact in the world of "scientists and thinkers" was a tremendous one, and, as mentioned in Matthiessen's Time article, her book, Silent Spring, is "nearly 40 years later . . . still regarded as the cornerstone of the new environmentalism."1 Matthiessen goes on to write that "one shudders to imagine how much more impoverished our habitat would be had Silent Spring not sounded the alarm."2 This is indeed a worthy claim by Mr. Matthiessen, but he correctly uncovers a bigger and more alarming truth when he says, "the damage being done by poison chemicals today is far worse than it was when she wrote the book."3 In fact, since 1962, pesticide use in the US has doubled.4
