Short Film on Rachel Carson and Discussion
The theme of the National Women's History Project this year is "Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet". Rachel Carson is being honored across the country through a short film, entitled "A Sense of Wonder." As a marine biologist, zoologist, and author, Rachel Carson is best known for her critically acclaimed book, Silent Spring, which alerted the world to the dangers of chemical pesticides and launched our modern environmental movement.

Following the film, Elenor Hodges, Executive Director for ACE (Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment) will speak on the film, as well as what her organization is involved in, and will lead a discussion on how college students can get involved in improving the environment. Light Refreshments will be provided.
