Pesticides are the only toxic substances released intentionally into our environment to kill living things. This includes substances that kill weeds (herbicides), insects (insecticides), fungus (fungicides), rodents (rodenticides), and others. Planes are used to release the heavy duty bug repellent on the plants. Through research and study, environmental scientist have discovered that spraying the pesticides are one of the main causes of honey bee deaths…

and then affecting food security. The impact of this problem is entirely evident in plant protection resulting in the heavy usage of pesticides (Al-Hakeem, 2016). The extensive use of chemical pesticides for a long period has caused many side effects such as extreme health hazards for the human and the environment, the development of resistances toward various pesticides, adverse effects on beneficial insects (natural enemies, pollinators and honey bees) and other non-targeted organisms,…

its surroundings… Then a strange blight crept over the area and everything began to change” (Carson 2).

Businessmen may support it because they can earn more…

Contrast Rachel Carson and Al Gore's view of humans' relationship with nature with the views of Carson's opponents. With whom do you agree and to what degree? Carson’s opponents reasoned that they were in the safe zone if they banned pesticides in their home ground but still made profit by exporting them to other countries. Carson’s and Al Gore’s stance on humans’ relationship with nature was that what goes around comes around. They believed that a person’s actions, regardless of what…
