These documents from 1962-1980 are on the topic of The Environmental Movement. Each document projects that if changes are not made, humans will be responsible for the downfall of the environment. Rachel Carson wrote a book called "Silent Spring" in response to the pesticides being irresponsibly placed anywhere contaminating water supplies for animals. Another document includes a section of President Nixon's State of the Union Adress. A quote from this reads "We can no longer afford to consider air and water common property." These documents are creating a narrative that individual people should be held accountable for there actions regarding the environment. Image result for silent spring
