Short introduction reminder to “A Fable for Tomorrow”:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Fable for Tomorrow” is a chapter in the book <\/span>Silent Spring,<\/em> <\/span>a <\/span><\/span>book written by <\/span><\/span>Rachel Carson<\/span><\/span><\/em> <\/span>documenting the detrimental effects of pesticides (specifically DDT) on the environment and how it moves its way up the food chain (bioaccumulation). While she writes of problems encountered in different places, all had happened. Carson accused the <\/span><\/span>chemical industry<\/span> <\/span>of spreading <\/span><\/span>disinformation (see videos in the module)<\/span>, and public officials of accepting industry claims without looking into them. <\/span>Silent Spring<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>facilitated the ban of the pesticide <\/span><\/strong><\/span>DDT<\/span> <\/span>in 1972 in the United States.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction note for Williams’s essay on nuclear testing (bombs) in Utah:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To help you understand Williams’s “Clan of the One-Breasted Women” (1991)<\/strong>: Read the short introduction before the essay. Read the three questions at the end of the article before you read it — the questions help guide your reading\/understanding of her ideas on the consequences of the fallout from the nuclear testing near her home. This essay starts out with specific, real details from the experiences from actual nuclear bomb testing near her home. Note that near the end of the essay the tone changes; while she did march in protests, she writes about this one as if it was a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring in<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>a quote from one of the sources on the Love Canal to support and develop your paragraph. For example:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to Maga, “Much of the waste that caused this historic health and environmental crisis [at the Love Canal] still live at the site to this day. More destructive times are growing, just like the fire that will ignite and chock a poor community of Niagara Falls. It is threatening to the neighboring cities and towns whose lives depends on it. Strange diseases might emerge, cities might face the reality of a contaminated drinking water, the places might be uninhabitable, and populations displaced.” <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
