Pesticides In 'Silent Spring'

The story “Silent Spring” started as a beautiful village, but the village turned into a lifeless hell in the end. The reason for this massive change was because of a white powder that farmers use every day, which are called pesticides. Of course, there are merits involved by using pesticides, but science has proven that there are many more defects. So, if people continue to use pesticides, the world will become like the fictitious village in “Silent Spring”. Pesticides impact the environment strongly. In the story, the village turned into a lifeless hell. “These too, were silent, deserted by all living thing. Even the streams were now lifeless.” (Rachel, 168)In real life, pesticides slowly impact nature especially to land and water. The pesticides kill all the small organisms in the soil. When the organisms are killed, the soil quality goes down, and this has a huge defect upon the retention of water. Also, pesticides are harmful to the human body. If a person intakes too many pesticides, they might get cancer. So pesticides are unable to benefit living things. We should stop

They don't care about the strong impact pesticides have on the environment or enhancing the probability of cancer in people. What they care about is money and glory. This is a bad situation because if farmers keep on using pesticides, the world will become like the village in “Silent Spring”. ”Some evil spell had settled on the community: mysterious maladies swept the flocks of chickens; the cattle and sheep sickened and died.” (Carson, 168) If I became a farmer, I would never use pesticides because I would know all the defects that pesticides cause to nature. So I think what scientists should do now is make pesticides that are not harmful to nature and humans. They should focus on this instead of making nuclear
