Expansion: Appreciation after reading the book "Silent Spring"

Previous A few days ago, I read a book - "Silent Spring". After reading this book, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The author of this book is Rachel Carson. Rachel Carson is a realistic, well-trained scientist. The reason why this scientist is able to turn books about death into odes to life is because she has the insight and sensitivity of a poet.

This book begins with a fable, describing to us the sudden change of a beautiful village. And from land to sea, from sea to sky, it comprehensively reveals the harm of chemical agriculture.

Ah! Turns out environmental protection is so important! In fact, if there is no environmental protection, the garbage will be returned to the place and hinder people's lives. Do you know? If you live in garbage dumps for a long time, you can easily contract diseases. Reading "Silent Spring" reminded me of a work written by Rachel Carson.

The author of this work uses bloody facts in the hope of awakening us who are ignorant: stop dealing with those insects and plants, because they are also part of the earth, and like us, they have their own Life, and nature cannot do without them. This work also calls on us: We must respect life and do not harm animals and plants casually. Otherwise, one day in the future, it will bring irreparable disasters and devastating deaths to mankind.

In fact, when Rachel Carson and Rachel Carson published these books on environmental protection, they were attacked and smeared by interest groups and chemical manufacturers. But they never changed their minds. They face the compassion of life and are not afraid of rumors. Rachel Carson and Rachel Carson feel that even if they pay the price of their lives, they must let the world know about the crisis faced by chemical substances poisoning the earth and environmental ecology. Did you know? As a writer, what Rachel Carson and Rachel Carson suffered was people slandering and attacking them. But they persisted. In the end, the dream they persisted in finally lit a bright light for the enlightenment of the human environment. ah! Don’t people like Rachel Carson and Rachel Carson deserve our admiration?

After reading these two works, I realized a truth: caring for the environment is actually caring for ourselves.

We sincerely hope that everyone will participate in the process of "protecting the environment". Let us work together for the sake of our future motherland! ;
