Mt. Capra is pesticide-free!
We make that statement proudly.
In 1962 a woman by the name of Rachel Carson published a book called “Silent Spring.”
It was a game-changer for society.
Thus began the environmental revolution.
In 1962, the use of pesticides was quite common and most-definitely accepted in society and most-definitely in the farming industry . . . and then along came Rachel Carson. By 1962, Carson was already recognized as a talented writer because of her “Sea” trilogy. This was a marine biologist’s look at the complexity of the world’s oceans. She then turned her attention to the land, and how man’s use of the land was affecting living organisms on that land. Her new book, “Silent Spring,” was published in three sections in The New Yorker magazine. This gave wide exposure and also earning it the wrath of the chemical companies.
Carson spent the last two years of her life defending her scientific findings. Which essentially said that DDT, and other related pesticides, were doing irreparable harm to Earth and its inhabitants.
Carson, and her book, changed the world.
Mt. Capra is pesticide-free, and we are proud of that fact. Ninety years of Mt. Capra…ninety years of doing it correctly!
Thank you, Rachel Carson, for showing the way!
