One of the most influential environmental activists of all time, Rachel Carson’s work led to the widespread awareness of the dangers of synthetic pesticides and a grassroots movement that led to the creation of the EPA! A brilliant mind and a fearless leader, she went toe-to-toe with big chemical companies and helped ban DDT and other harmful pesticides. For many of us here at EDF Action Votes, her book Silent Spring was a formative introduction to a world of environmental activism. Rachel Carson shaped a generation of activists and climate champions – she is truly an inspiration to us all. As we remember Rachel Carson, here at EDF Action Votes we strive to follow her lead every day. She was a trailblazer when it came to fighting the lies and propaganda of Big Polluters in her day – and she affected change at the highest levels of government. [To celebrate Rachel Carson’s legacy, will you make a contribution to EDF Action Votes so we can continue the fight in her name? We work every day to push back against Big Polluters and enact real, long-lasting change at the highest levels of government.
