Free Rachel Carson

Tags: banning DDT, DDT, environment, malaria, Rachel Carson, smear tactics
After reading a number of things that were disturbing about the harmful effects of banning DDT, I find to my relief that I was falling prey to a disinformation campaign. The following site gives a detailed discussion of the stories, and forces behind them, that have tried to smear the whole environmental movement by starting with attacks on one of the key scientists of the last 50 years: Rachel Carson. See http://aaronsw.jottit.com/rachelcarson and decide for yourself. Feedback appreciated as always.

A professional view of Green Chemistry for the general reader
Having worked in Green Chemistry since about 1990, I hope to offer comments that help you evaluate what is really good for the environment, what helps but could be better, and what is undesirable. This is my second blog- the first reviews fiction, but since I put some Green Chemistry there out of impatience, there are cross-references between the blogs. Comments are welcome and encouraged! Thanks, James K. Bashkin. © 2007-2010
