Answer: Rachel carson's 1962 Silent Spring was ground breaking work in regards to the topic of pesticide.
Explanation:
For years, city-dwellers with little contact with nature or farming communities were reassured that there was no need for worry about these chemicals. But Rachel Carson wrote a book about them in 1962 called "Silent Spring". It proved so controversial that many libraries refused to carry it and major publications would not review it. Nevertheless, enough copies sold so that is became one of the most influential environmental books ever written, selling out its first run of 50,000 copies in 3 months.
You will want to consider the author's point of view in light of the fact that she may profit from the building project.
Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.
Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.
