Summary: Rachel Carson warned us.In 1962, she spoke out against the use of DDT in her book Silent Spring. I wonder what she would say about carbofuran today, a pesticide that’s also deadly to birds.
Thank you for this piece, did you know that carbofuran is being dumped in Africa now that it can't be used in USA? We are fighting FMC the manufacturer - pls see our blog http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org
