Ich habe gerade meinen Europaabgeordneten angerufen und ihn darum gebeten den Pestizid Omnibus abzulehnen.
Ihr solltet das auch tun :)
Das geht echt fix und das Umweltinstitut hat einen kurzen Leitfaden dazu erstellt.

#SilentSpring - #RachelCarson - 1962
Available through the #InternetArchive!
"Silent Spring by Rachel Carson is an expertly written #environmental science book published in 1962. It focuses on the documentation of detrimental effects that the haphazard use of #pesticides has on the #environment. In the book, she is vocal about her criticism of #ChemicalIndustry which she blames for the rampant #disinformation that is aimed at ensuring that public official accepts their claims unquestioningly (Carson and Lear). Carson had earlier focused all her attention on conservation efforts and in particular in environmental problems caused pesticides.The result of her new found passion culminated in the writing of Silent Spring (1962) that brought out her environmental concerns with the aim of sharing them with the American public."
