The Obligation to Endure is the second chapter from the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Carson presents the persuasive argument that pesticides such as DDT should be kept away from our homes‚ our place of business‚ and our children.

Now‚ the city has been having an on going debate on whether they should get rid of the Police Department or make more budget cuts.

Silent Spring Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) became the inspiration for the environmental movement. Its elegant prose expressed passionate outrage at the ravaging of beautiful‚ unspoiled nature by man. Its frightening message was that we are all being injured by deadly poisons (DDT and other pesticides) put out by a callous chemical industry. This message was snapped up by intellectuals‚ and the book sold over a million copies. Many organizations have sprung up to spread Carson’s message.
