Blair Crumpler's Response to Michael Johns

Just as Michael Johns was drawn to the novel Silver Springs because of its focus on the environment, I was drawn to his post for the same reason. I am very big on protecting our planet, and I think that reading about the things that threaten it is extremely important. Michael's post was not only interesting, but a good overview of the book. Reading his post, I was reminded of my mom, who reads books similar to Silver Springs all the time (and subsequently shares the interesting points with me). I would love to read this book and learn more about the history of pesticides and herbicides, and their affects on the enviroment, plants, and people.
