The causes of today environment status
The environment is changing exceedingly in a negative way. Human beings have made a
strong impact on the environmental changes. Nowadays, news about the melting of the ice cap,
deforestation, and desertification can easily be seen on the Internet or on the television daily.
According to Rachel Carson’s environmental legacy, these statuses are caused by many reasons.
She is known as a famous writer who writes environmental books and books about nature. She is
an example of a strong inspiration to protect the environment. Three of the main causes of
environmental problems are toxic chemicals, global warming and the unpleasant impacts on the

Knowing how to
manage the risks by only using safe chemicals is necessary. Rachel Carson mentions plenty of
times about DTT when she explains the cause of environmental changes. DTT is a type of
chemical that was popularly viewed as a miracle of modern technology. This type of chemical
helps enormously in planting crops or killing the insects to abandon diseases. However, DDT has
lots of harmful side effects to other beings. Rachel Carson pointed out her perspective in one of
her books, which is Silent Spring. “How could intelligent beings seek to control a few unwanted
species by a method that contaminated the entire environment and brought the threat of disease
and death even to their own kind?” (Rachel Carson 8) Human beings should consider the

DDT helps eliminate unwanted species; nonetheless, it also has an ability to damage wildlife,

For example, the farmers cut down trees in the forest to have more space for
agriculture or livestock. Therefore, a huge amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful
greenhouse gases is released into the atmosphere. Rachel mentioned her opinion in one of her
articles, which is The Edge of the Sea. “This new distribution is, of course, related to the
widespread change of climate that seems to have set in about the beginning of the century and is
well recognized—a general warming-up noticed first in the arctic regions, then in subarctic, and
now in the temperate areas of northern states” (Rachel Carson 23) The global warming problem
is changing human being’s lives and landscapes. Moreover, a countless number of animals or
plants are at the risk of disappearing because of the increasing of the earth temperature. The
penguins or the polar bears are having less food sources and smaller places to live. They likely
have to swim for a long distance to find food or to reach a temporary place to take a rest. Rachel
Carson pointed out the global warming signs that could be seen at that time. People should
realize this problem and together help slow the rate of
