Death of Wildlife

"Silent Spring" is an essay about chemicals killing animals after they have been sprayed on plants. The chemicals the essay mentions is DDT and Aldrin. Aldrin is one that is one hundred times as strong as DDT. According to Rachel Carson, if we don't change our ways and lower the usage of these chemicals, all animals will cease to exist. The beginning of this essay puts many problems that many different cities are having and putting them together as one giant problem. That is what could happen if the chemicals killing the animals are still being used in the future.
