For fifteen years, Rachel worked for the United States Fish and Wildl
15、ife Service, writing and editing publications. Fortunately, her employer encouraged her to reach a larger audience.

16、 the National Book Award for the Sea Around Us. Rachels next book marked her as a leading fighter for the preservation of the natural environment. She began writing Silent Spring, knowing that she would be personally attacked and ridiculed. She continued writing despite the ill health that slowed he
17、r progress. Upon completing the book, she wrote to a close friend, “I have felt obliged to do what I could if I didnt at least try I could never again be happy in nature. But now I believe I have at least helped a little. “ Rachel Carson did more than help a little. Although both government and indu

This rising water will be felt along the artificially maintained beaches of New Jersey, in the vanishing marshes of Louisiana, even on the ocean cliffs of Cali
22、fornia. According to a 2000 report by the Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, at least a quarter of the houses within 500 feet of the United States coast may be lost to rising seas by 2060.
