[Sustain] Exposing Anti-Environmental Myths Around DDT

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

This week's Counterspin, has a great installment revealing that the
decline in DDT use in malaria hot zones like Africa, happened, not
because of environmental laws, but because mosquitoes have developed
strong immunities to DDT because of its heavy use; a situation that
Silent Spring author Rachel Carson specifically warned against. So
increased malaria deaths have largely been the result of irresponsible
chemical use, not environmental protections.

Read or Listen to the report at:

The audio is shorter but much easier to follow and is in the second half
of the program.

peace

Eric
