Project: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring In your opinion, is the government abiding Carson’s call? Write an argument essay (of at least 500 words) that uses evidence to support whether or not current pesticide use reflects Carson's call for the "selective and intelligent use of chemicals." Be sure to cite your sources, and provide a reference page for those sources.

Doesn't exactly have to be 500 words.

Nearly 60 years ago, Rachel Carson shocked the agricultural industry with her critique of indiscriminate pesticide use in the United States. “Silent Spring,” her book, quickly became a trademark of environmental activism, paving the way for the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and a plethora of other modern-day protections.

In 1957, the United States Department of Agriculture decided there was a fire ant problem. To tackle the problem, the USDA began the aerial spraying of dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT ), mixed with fuel oil and other pesticides. DDT is a chemical best known for its long-lasting nature and its aggregation in animals at the top of the food chain

halibut, flounder, tuna, and trout are all fish. so your first answer is 1.) fish. and since fish is edible, your next answer would be 3). edible

to describe those fishes more thoroughly, some of those fishes live in fresh water, and some of the fishes live in salt water, and that is not a thing that they all have in common. the question is asking what is common with all of the fish, so answer choices 2). fresh water and 4). salt water are not right.
