How did rachel carsons book, silent spring, alter the way people thought about and treated the earth?

Rachel Carson Book's "Silent Spring" changed the way people thought and treated the Earth by showing the destructive impacts of pesticide use on animal life.

Explanation:

In 1962, the American biologist Rachel Carson (1907-1964) published one of the most important works of the 20th century. Silent Spring is considered the first worldwide warning against the harmful effects of pesticide use in agriculture.  The book influenced the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States and inspired environmental movements in several countries. But Carson's book, more than a warning against pesticides, has issued an ethical message: man's relationship with nature is on the wrong path and needs to change.
