Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" led Congress to enact restrictions on the use of DDT, a pesticide that was causing harm to the environment and wildlife. This ultimately led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970 and the ban on DDT for agricultural use in the United States in 1972.
