She fought when DDT was being used as a pesticide but was dismissed regularly.      QUESTIONS AT ISSUE   The largest question at issue is to why no one believed that climate change...

  What I Most Look Forward to in My Environmental Science Class Considering my degree is for Environmental Science, I am most excited to further my education toward that degree. I am finally breaking through my "core" classes (ex: Comp 1, History, etc.), and getting to the good stuff! It was difficult getting through some of the other classes that didn't pertain to my interest of environmental science, so now that I am here in this class I am beyond excited. I look forward to learning more about our environment, how humans have impacted our planet, different wild life and plants... all of the above!  What I Think This Class Will Be About I believe this class will teach us how our natural world works, and how humans have impacted it. I think we will study the different patterns of our environment - physical, chemical, and biological. Hopefully we will cover topics such as energy consumption and climate change, bringing attention to how we as humans can hopefully rever...
