Summary: Silent Spring - Chapter Two

These sprays, dusts, and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests, and homes— nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’, to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in the streams, to coat the leaves with a deadly film, and to linger on in soil—all this though the intended target may be only a few weeds or insects. These chemicals should not be called pesticides, they should be called poisons, for every living organism will die when encountering them. This relates to the stupidity of humans and their lack of consciousness as they are willing to sacrifice the global environment because a few tiny bit insects are eating their crops? With no consideration of the consequences humans put these drugs into massive production, spreading them throughout the land?. And a small success has made them over-proud as they keep increasing the usage of the poisons. And no one stands from the point of view of nature; no one helps people to gain awareness of the awful end where this movement is leading.
