As a high school student in Michigan in the early 70’s I read “Silent Spring” (my biology teacher and great influencer of my life recommended it). The book did indeed make a big difference as I went on to get a degree in limnology, the study of fresh water habitats. Through twists and turns of life I ended up as a public health Infectious Diseases physician in Maryland and now live in a house that less than a mile from the Rachel Carson Preserve. 🙂❤️
I’ve been enjoying these 1-minute vignettes. How about inviting everyone and anyone to create our own 1-minute videos (maybe supply us a template for intro and outro?) about people and happenings that we believe contribute to our national tapestry? Kind of like the AIDS quilt - no prior authorization necessary; just a collection of individual contributions that make up a wondrous whole.
I am proud that my grandmother sent me this book in 1962. I remember that President Kennedy soon supported the ideas. A congressman said of her work, "What does she know about reproductive cycles? She's not married!"
Love these videos. This is my favorite because it’s so relevant to the times we are in as the Trump Administration is planning on dumping chemicals all over our national lands. It’s important to revisit the lessons of our history in hopes we can have a better future.

I read “Silent Spring” but not in school. I ate books on animals and the environment. Thanks for the great video!
