    Rachel Carson

    Explanation:

    Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist and author. She wrote the book Silent Spring to make people aware of the effects of pesticides on the environment. Her book was extremely controversial, particularly for the chemical companies. However, as a result of the information contained in the book, the national pesticide policies were changed and DDTs (as well as other pesticides) were banned, thus launching the modern environmental movement.
