À la fin des années 50, Rachel Carson se concentra sur la protection de l'environnement et sur les problèmes causés par les biocides de synthèse. Ceci la conduisit à publier Silent Spring (Printemps silencieux) en 1962 qui déclencha un renversement dans la politique nationale envers les biocides — conduisant à une interdiction nationale du DDT et d'autres pesticides. Le mouvement populaire que le livre inspira conduisit à la création de " l'Environmental Protection Agency " . Carson reçut à titre posthume la médaille présidentielle de la Liberté.

Ironically, his ideas have become so accepted and widespread that he has been nearly forgotten.
