Spring:Story is Live!

As we have been working to create Springsong over the past few years, we have talked with hundreds of people, many of whom have shared stories of how Carson changed something small or large in their lives -- everything from starting to plant their own tomatoes to pursuing a career in environmental science. We realized that, though the difference Carson's Silent Spring made in sparking the modern environmental movement has been well documented, the effect she had (and continues to have) on the lives of individuals has not.

The video below features Rachel Carson's impact on people including two Pulitzer Prize-winning novelists, legendary actor William Shatner, and a Hugo Award-winning author from China whose books put Silent Spring back on the bestseller list after 60 years.

You can also look for their reflections and those of many others on our Instagram and Facebook pages. And please join them by sharing your Spring:Story!

Special thanks to Stacy Jannis of Jannis Productions for generously donating her time and talent to make the Spring:Story video.

This initiative is a collaboration between Springsong Museum and VoxPop.
