Rachel Carson wrote many best selling and influential books about the environment. These helped to start the environmental movement, and the outlook on the importance of taking care of the environment. Her book "Silent Spring" was a major factor to bringing an end to the use of DDT, a powerful and toxic pesticide. If DDT were still being used, the bald eagle would no longer exist in the contiguous United States.
