Rachel Carson

In my presentation I talked about a women named Rachel Carson. I learned a lot about Rachel Carson and her great achievements. Rachel Carson was not only an amazing scientist, but also an amazing writer. Carson wrote many books about the ocean and the environment. Her most famous book was a book titled Silent Spring. Carson also raised a big issue when she spoke out publicly about the chemicals the United States were using in World War II. many people knew about the unhealthy chemicals, but Carson was the first one to go out and speak to the public about this issue. Unfortunately Rachel Carson died after a long battle with breast cancer. This presentation taught me a lot and I believe it is always interesting to learn about the people that played in the safety of our environment but do not always get the credit that they deserve.
