借放一下 :)） 如果要幫我翻譯也是可以 Although this was written over fifty years ago, Leopold’s vision Still stands as a milestone whose sensibility and concern for ethics underlie and inform the Sustainability Rachel today. American writer and naturalist Rachel Carson’s publication of Silent Spring in 1962 set off an alarm heard through all levels of Society. Carson’s depiction of the devastating impact of toxins and pollutants on the environment caused the general public and government agencies to reevaluate the limits of ecosystems. Her description of the dangers of agricultural pesticides for animals and humans made clear that our survival is linked to the viability of ecosystems. Seminal works such as A Sand County Almanac and Silent Spring became icons in the environmental field and were adopted by the Sustainability Revolution because of their powerful fusion of environment and ethics. The ecological awareness raised by Carson and other environmentalists in the 1960s culminated in 1970 with the first Earth Day, which attracted over 20 million people to enthusiastic and peaceful rallies throughout the United States.
