Rachel Carson played a key role in the birth of environmentalism in the 20th century.

She became increasingly aware of the harmful facts of insecticide DDT on the environment. This compelled her to write her most famous work Silent Spring and defending herself against attacks from commercial interests.

HELP+EXPLAIN PLEASE Describe how a sarcodine, such as amoeba, gets food.
