Episode 22 of the #ProjectNarrative podcast features #ErinJames in conversation with #JamesPhelan discussing the first chapter of #RachelCarson’s Silent Spring, “A Fable for Tomorrow.”

In the first half of the podcast, Erin digs into Carson’s #storytelling strategies, and then, in the second, connects Carson’s work to much of what’s going on in contemporary storytelling about the #environment, especially in narratives about #ClimateChange.

That Oppenheimer and Barbie "did" this to us, and not #DianaKrall and #RachelCarson, say for instance, as a thought experiment? Pray on it.

@mariapopova I read "The Sea Around Us" in grade school and "Silent Spring" in 8th grade. And I am forever grateful to #RachelCarson.

Interesting #review: A #Cultural #History of the #Soul: Europe and North America from 1870 to the Present, by Kocku von #Stuckrad:

"In the last two chapters, Stuckrad [returns] to North America, towards #naturewriting and #nature writers who would contribute significantly to inspiring the North American #environmental movement. His closing arguments explore the critical works of influential environmental authors like #RachelCarson and #BarryLopez."

The real wealth of the Nation lies in the resources of the earth -- soil, water, forests, minerals, and wildlife... Their administration is not properly, and cannot be, a matter of politics.
-- Rachel Carson (1953)

Some of my real-life heroes growing up were #RachelCarson ("Silent Springs"), #ConsumerSafety advocate #RalphNader ("Unsafe at Any Speed", Green party candidate), and murdered #nuclear whistleblower #KarenSilkwood.

@mariapopova
Not sure it was really true, I nonetheless took that quote of #RachelCarson from a related post of yours and included it (with some reason) in my own blog post, using #Escher to understand Achilles in the #Iliad of #Homer

#heatherCoxRichardson connects the dots of our history to today re the #Environment #EPA. #Nixon started the EPA as rivers were burning, #RachelCarson was highlighting our responsibility of poisoning (& killing) our own food sources.

And today #GOP want to stop protection of air and water for profits. Don’t be stupid.

How to avoid the next Silent Spring? As shown by using #chemicalstripes in @EnvSciTech, #PFAS use started before #RachelCarson wrote Silent Spring in the 60s.

...Since then #persistent chemical pollution has gotten out of control.

What do do?

#Paracelsus', “the dose makes the poison”, is an irresponsible axiom for #managing #persistent substances that accumulate in the environment. In 1962, #RachelCarson did not know that PFAS could be a poison, and in 2023, scientists are still researching the dose.

Rachel Carson was an amazing lady.

I'm so glad we stopped using DDT.

It's too bad we didn't make more changes she recommended.

C'est un monde où la puce meurt d'avoir mordu le chien, où l'insecte est asphyxié par l’arôme de la plante, où l'abeille rapporte à sa ruche un nectar empoisonné, et fabrique du miel vénéneux.
