Today, Google commemorates the birthday of Rachel Carson’s (1907-1964), one of the pioneers of the modern ecological movement. Her Silent Spring, published in 1962, alerted the public to the impact of pesticides on the environment, which led to the banning of DDT in the United States and many other countries afterward. More generally, she instilled the idea that the introduction of new products to the market should not be seen only in terms of technological progress, but also in terms of the serious damage they sometimes cause to the environment.
