I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about stop cat peeing on carpet try Bablim Stop Cat Booster (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
Horrifying fact: To "prove" how safe DDT was, they would sometimes drive around a town with a truck spraying a cloud of DDT out onto crowds of children running behind the truck or even kids in a swimming pool (you can see the videos of this online). The original ban on DDT was the ban on its use in the U.S. and NOT its production. It continued to be produced and sold to foreign markets until 1985 (over 300 tons was exported). Also, you can find DDT still on the tops of mountains where DDT was never sprayed. And a global ban on DDT (among other persistent organic pollutants) did not happen until 2004, though its use was still permitted for certain disease vector control measures. However, despite the global ban, it's still used in a few places around the world today.
@@waterbottle8692 I just did a pretty basic search. You can do the same, but here's one to start you off: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v2EtxYxEKww.html
I remember watching a cartoon when I was a kid that showed DDT as an acronym for Drop Dead Twice. I'm not sure if was Popeye or the old Tom & Jerry cartoon though.
True, my parents are not talking to me because I missed the family gathering of 150 people in one house, as they don’t think the virus spreads through the air we breath from one another. I hear ya.
I read her life story in a science magazine when I was in second grade, she was the first female influence to me. I find her work incredible and inspirational :)
I grew up in the fifties and sixties in Michigan My dad was a big camping fishing enthusiast.he took us camping every weekend in the summer and we got to see the whole state. In my early teen we went out west three times. Anyway where I’m going with this is ,we never saw a turkey buzzard, an eagle, a sand hill crane ,a cormorant and most hawks. But then in the early eighties something miraculous began to occur. These top bird species started to be seen. At first in isolated pockets but by the nineties they were every where. Some are so prevalent now that they are consider pest. DDTwas causing the egg shells of these birds to be so thin that they didn’t survive to hatching. Just one of the innumerable problems caused by this chemical compound! All this is known today, yet there are politicians and farmers who want bring back.
Chemical companies: hey we made a chemical that can save millions of lives from malaria and improve life Carson: I will publish a book that has no scientific data. Chemical companies: ok *bans DDT, which leads to millions being killed from malaria, subpar quality of food and stagnation of bird population*
@@corneliali7747 Silent Spring is a great work of fiction. However, its not scientifically accurate. Stop listening to fake news and look at the hard, raw source, not "news" from Fake News Network.
"Why is a spinster without children so concerned about genetics?"...i know many women scientists who are single and yet so concerned for our people's future..we may not have biological children but our students are our children too and their future will always be of utmost importance
People who need to have some kind of blood connection to victims to care are just devoid of empathy and basic human decency. One doesn't need to have children to care about their future, one doesn't need to have daughters/wives/mothers to care about violence against women... one just needs to not be so self-absorbed to have some basic concern for their fellow human beings.
Less aware humans among us possess the urge to save nature only if some influential figures/s is/are seen supporting environmentalists and conservationists in a regular manner. Our international leaders, actors, singers, other artists and political heads should show their support. The call for conservation must me seen on international level. I thank all creators like TED-Ed. Who create content like this.
@@ankit2014official Thanks for the wishes. I love discovering different streams ranging form chemistry to Astrophysics, and Abstract Math. Curiosity a rare fuel that does not pollute, but nurtures.❤️
@@ankit2014official no he won't because a serious aspirant would be studying instead of wasting time on RU-vid and also a serious aspirant don't go around announcing that they are preparing for IIT. Only a showoff chutiya would put iit aspirant in front of his name.
@@MrHarsh3600 Btw man, This kind of content is not "time paas". And if you think that IIT-JEE preparation is only about putting hours of time, then you probably don't even try for it. IIT is all about quality time, the degree of concentration is the key, not amount of time. And as of the username I use, it is the urge I have inside me to achieve that. It's very easy man, if I won't be confident and serious enough, why would I use that username. Once more I say it to you, this kind of content is NOT "timepass". If you think that way, you belong to that same category of people who don't care about their planet and science.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH. The population of Bald Eagle actually DOUBLED between 1941 and 1960. In fact, the Robin population even increased TWELVEFOLD. Dont believe me? Check out Audubon society, a bird-watching group. They will tell you the exact same data. Stop listening to fake news and wake up.
What I noticed in particular was how Rachel Carson was labeled a "communist" by a pesticide company lawyer. It seems that some American people and companies call anything they don't like socialist.
I know this isn't an appropriate platform for what i'm about to say but... This is reminding me of what's happening with the mRNA vaccines today. There are dissenting voices, but people aren't listening.
I love following your lessons and even our teachers use these ones to help teach us! Though a lot don't because they are afraid they can't understand the lesson. Is there a way to help and contribute subtitles for the animated lessons in Slovenian? A few of the live shows do have them, but not these. I would love to help if I could in any way. Thank you again for these lessons!
Thank you TED for the video. I was aware of the story but didn't know the name of the person involved. And narrator voice is outstandingly good. Would love to have it as an option for text to voice applications.
Honestly, thanks alot for continuing to make content that's always interesting. Ted Ed is always good and always interesting. Thanks for that! It's really cool all the topics you guys cover and the animations are always AMAZING!!! Honestly I doubt I would know half the cool facts I know if it weren't for Ted Ed. Cool video as always!
wow this is very timely as i'm learning more about her as a part of my thesis on ecology and literature. read her famous book Silent Spring some three years before, friends you must read it, read it
4:47 "In 1972 the EPA issued a partial ban...". I wonder what year it was before major chem. companies had the scruples to stop producing and selling DDT in the other 95% of the world outside the USA.
Many of which were sold to Africa to control mosquitoes because it's one of the only pesticide they can afford in large quantity. Otherwise malaria will kill them before DDT can.
Her story sounds like it would make a great movie. If we trust wikipedia, there seemingly hasn't been one yet. The recent film Dark Waters sounds similar to Carson's story, so we'll have to settle for that until someone makes one about her life. We need to hear her story and others like it, so here's hoping this video does well and TED-Ed keep highlighting important changes driven by scientists and others committed to the truth and highlighting the dangers of thinking corporations can self-regulate.
I actually read a small part of her book silent spring in my school as a project. It scared me more than anything because it made me realize how close we were to killing hundreds if not thousands of people.
My grandpa died of cancer before I was even born. Due to his history of working on fields in communist Romania, we assumed it was because of DDT and other pesticides.
It's a fine line balancing what is harmful and what is helpful. It is good that those with dissenting views have a chance to voice their concerns and when valid, that society act on correcting those concerns.
