book. Some of it was pure bunk.

5. +1 The powers that be called her a probable Commie.

Some things never change.

3. I just retired after 35 years as an environmental geologist for the state of Florida

Rachel Carson was a pioneer in getting us on the path of saving our environment.

The last half of my career was spent working on the "Dark Side of the Moon". I worked with NASA and the Air Force at Cape Canaveral cleaning of contamination left behind in our race to Space and the Moon.

I just watched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth again after 14 years. Every dire prediction he made in that film has come true in spades.

I live in Tallahassee and in some tiny effort to help our distressed Earth I signed up to buy my electricity from the city's solar farm.

Tomorrow I take another step for Mother Earth and early vote for Joe Biden.
