Why Can An Insecticide So Detrimental Become So Widely Used?

The Earth is bursting with luscious vegetation and beautiful creatures, and the human race has the luxury of enjoying all of this around them. Humans relish in the food produced from plants, the role they play in keeping animals alive, and the pure beauty of plants. They also benefit from insects that aid the plants, the food that animals produce, and the company they provide, from pets to the bugs humans encounter every day. Animals cannot survive without plants, and plants would not be on earth without animals. Some animals even need certain types of plants to survive (ECOSYSTEMS). Now imagine a blanket of white powder covering parts of Earth, to kill the all the species of insects. This white powder would poison the insects it was trying to kill off, but would go further than that. It would silence the birds, kill the fish, exterminate the plants, and even harm humans.

There was baggage attached to the use of DDT; it was extremely toxic to the Earth, animals, plants, and it was also effecting humans
