Scenarios about 'Rachel Carson'
Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist, conservationist, and author whose 1962 book "Silent Spring" exposed the environmental harm caused by pesticides, particularly DDT. Her work sparked the modern environmental movement, challenged chemical industry practices, and led to significant policy changes including the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. In alternate history scenarios, Carson's influence is often explored through timelines where environmental awareness developed differently or where her work was either suppressed or emerged earlier.
