Silent Spring by Rachel Carson Draw a pictorial representation for each of these quotes: “In nature nothing exists alone” “It is ironic to think that man might determine his own future by something so seemingly trivial as the choice of an insect spray.”

EPA and the Endangered Species Act Environmental Protection Agency – a government organization formed in 1970 to set and enforce national pollution control standards. Clean Air Act Clean Water Act Endangered Species Act - requires the Fish and Wildlife Service to list species of plants and animals that are threatened with extinction, and then take steps to protect them.
