CAPÍTULO 2
LA OBLIGACIÓN DE RESISTIR
"Ciertas rocas emitían radiaciones peligrosas; incluso dentro de la luz solar, de la que toda la vida obtiene su energía, había radiaciones de onda corta con la capacidad de lesionar. Con el tiempo (tiempo no en años, sino en milenios) la vida se ajusta, y se ha alcanzado un equilibrio. Porque el tiempo es el ingrediente esencial; pero en el mundo moderno no hay tiempo."

> #RachelCarson's Silent Spring in 1962, preceded by a derived series of articles in the New Yorker, temporarily broke the chemical industry's command over the flow of information on pesticides and other chemicals. There had been critical articles and letters of protest over the broadscale use of DDT and other poisons, but these were only occasional and hardly disturbed the industry's informational hegemony.

Oliver SchäferThis is a close up of a new painting that I just finished. These are the eyes of Rachel Carson, a wonderful woman and the mother of the global environmental movement in the past century. She wrote the famous book "Silent Spring" that is still relevant today.
She said: 'So nature does indeed need protection from man; but man, too, needs protection from his own acts, for he is part of the living world. His war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. His heedless and destructive acts enter into the vast cycles of the earth, and in time return to him'.

ghose 🍉 👣u-lo as fadas?
O mundo dun pequeno é fresco, novo, fermoso, está cheo
de sorpresa e entusiasmo. É unha desgraza que, na maioría de
nós, esa visión lúcida, ese instinto natural que temos polo que
é fermoso e impresionante, se debilite ou mesmo se perda antes
de chegarmos á idade adulta. Se tivese cuña coa fada que supostamente está encargada de abeizoar todas as crianzas, pediríalle
que escollese de agasallo para cada unha delas un sentido do
abraio tan indestrutible que lles durase toda a vida, como un
antídoto infalible contra o aborrecemento e o desencanto que
han vir cos anos, contra a preocupación estéril por cousas que
son artificiais, contra a alienación das orixes da nosa fortaleza.
Ele Willoughby, PhDWorking on my next print for the #PrinterSolstice2526 prompt subtraction- a scientist who brought the world’s attention to what was missing where there had been indiscriminate pesticide use, and DDT in particular. Award-winning science writer and marine biologist Rachel Carson (1907-1964) wasn’t the first to try to sound the alarm about unintended consequences, harm to wildlife, 🧵
