By #RachelCarson. Published in 1955. Yeah, she had it figured out back then.
Today's quote from a book:
"...[M]an is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself."
~~from Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Inspirational quote graphic over a scenic mountain landscape with clouds and a wildflower meadow in the foreground. Centered text reads: “The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” — Rachel Carson Humanism Church logo appears in the lower left corner. The text “humanism.church” appears in the lower right corner.
The more we appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us, the less easily we can stomach its destruction. #Humanism #Conservation #RachelCarson #Philosophy #HumanismChurch

El océano sostiene nuestra vida, regula el clima y produce gran parte del oxígeno que respiramos.
Protegerlo no es altruismo. Es supervivencia.

Well, I guess I'm starting on day 22. #SilentSpring by #RachelCarson. I read it as a child and thought, "That could never happen.
But it did.
Now I'm re-reading it.
40 years. 40 years. And I guess I mixed up the books as a child. I had to order #EdgeOfTheSea. Luckily, 6.89. SHEESH, decades.
2/2 #RachelCarson
I am sitting here holding a (PB new) copy of #SilentSpring by #RachelCarson in my left hand. I haven't touched this book...and don't ask me why, it's been 30 years.
I hope it's the one where she talks about #tidepools. That really fascinated me.
Holy crap.
I just ordered a new paperback of #SilentSpring by #RachelCarson. 11.89. I scrolled down the page hoping to find an old hardback library copy...and I did...$125!
DAYUM.
So yeah hopefully my paperback arrives tomorrow.
The founder of the modern environmental movement was queer. Why did it take so long to out her?

“Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Yes, well, #RachelCarson wrote about this decades ago: www.harpercollins.ca/978006265535...
And I - geologist - have studied the natural forces that shape the earth forever, but I have always looked up from the work to think “wow, amazing”.
Studying science increases our sense of wonder
“We in this generation, must come to terms with nature, and I think we’re challenged as mankind has never been challenged before to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature, but of ourselves.”
