Rachel Carson and Marjorie Spock
2 works of Steiner’s from German into English, authored widely read books and pamphlets, and in her one-hundredth year produced and choreographed a video about Eurythmy, a philosophy of the art of movement espoused by Steiner that Spock practiced most of her life. She clearly ventured into territories unfamiliar to her corporate lawyer father, who served as general solicitor of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, or her older brother Benjamin Spock, the renowned pediatrician and author.3 It was Spock’s deep commitment to biodynamic farming—a holistic and deeply nature-focused approach to agriculture rooted in anthroposophy–that positioned her to lead the charge against the unprecedented, government-run aerial spraying of DDT across Long Island in the spring of 1957.4 Spock and her friend Mary T. (Polly) Richards owned a home and a two-acre organic farm on Whitney Lane and Norgate Road in the Nassau County village of Old Brookville. When DDT from the spray campaign misted down onto their organic fields fourteen times in a single day, the course not only of DDT but also of environmental history more broadly, shifted. Not only did Spock and Rachel Carson become allies Marjorie Spock. in a cause at a critical moment, but the 1958 trial that Spock Photo courtesy and Richards launched against the federal government broke of Alchetron. new ground as apparently the first modern environmental case initiated by citizens.5 “The human drama of the whole thing is something never to be found in the court record,” Spock said, when queried decades after the spraying and the ensuing trials. -
Marjorie Spock: an Unsung Hero in the Fight Against DDT and in the Rise of the Modern Environmental Movement
1 Marjorie Spock: An Unsung Hero in the Fight Against DDT and in the Rise of the Modern Environmental Movement Sandra Postel Few would question that Rachel Carson’s lyrical bestseller Silent Spring changed the course of human engagement with the natural world. It woke communities up to the dangers of backyard pesticides, and, in 1972, just a decade after the book’s publication, motivated the US government to ban most uses of DDT. During the sixties and early seventies, it helped spawn the passage of a slew of environmental laws—from the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act to the Wilderness Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act. It helped motivate the formation, in 1970, of the US Environmental Protection Agency to safeguard the country’s air, land, and water. For this public awakening and civil action, Rachel Carson is justifiably credited with launching the modern environmental movement.1 But the passionate and committed work of another advocate for nature is often overlooked or underplayed in the story of DDT, the provenance of Silent Spring, and the rise of citizen-led environmentalism. Without the efforts of Marjorie Spock—who farmed organically in Nassau County, New York, in the late 1950s—to stop the spraying of DDT across Long Island, the outcomes of this critical period might have proven less momentous. Spock initiated legal proceedings against the federal government’s actions and shared a voluminous quantity of trial documents and research materials about the harmful effects of DDT with Rachel Carson. Carson biographer Linda Lear writes that “Marjorie Spock was a woman of enormous courage, integrity, and indefatigable spirit who soon became one of Carson’s inner circle of friends and the central point of her original research network.”2 Born on September 8, 1904, into a prominent family in New Haven, Connecticut, Marjorie Spock possessed diverse interests, many talents, and an erudite, fun-loving nature. -

RUDOLF STEINER LIBRARY VYDZ023789 T H E G O L D E N B L A D E KINDLING SPIRIT 2002 54th ISSUE RUDOLF STEINER LIBRARY 65 FERN HILL RD GHENT NY 12075 KINDLING SPIRIT Edited by William Forward, Simon Blaxland-de Lange and Warren Ashe The Golden Blade Anthroposophy springs from the work and teaching of Rudolf Steiner. He described it as a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe. The aim of this annual journal is to bring the outlook of anthroposophy to bear on questions and activities relevant to the present, in a way which may have lasting value. It was founded in 1949 by Charles Davy and Arnold Freeman, who were its first editors. The title derives from an old Persian legend, according to which King Jamshid received from his god, Ahura Mazda, a golden blade with which to fulfil his mission on earth. It carried the heavenly forces of light into the darkness of earthly substance, thus allowing its transformation. The legend points to the pos sibility that humanity, through wise and compassionate work with the earth, can one day regain on a new level what was lost when the Age of Gold was supplanted by those of Silver, Bronze and Iron. Technology could serve this aim; instead of endan gering our plantet's life, it could help to make the earth a new sun.

Introduction
introduction The Ecology of Environmentalism Today’s environmental movement is a vast ecosystem that includes farmers and teachers, monkey-wrenching activists and pragmatic poli- ticians, pagans and Protestants, toddlers playing on the beach and elders planning a green burial. All are united by an awareness that their individual destinies are caught up with the health of natural systems at the local, global, and cosmic levels. Human beings have always evolved in symbiosis with wheat and cattle and intestinal bacteria; environmen- talists are human beings who are becoming conscious of our interde- pendence. This consciousness is changing what we eat, how we treat plants and animals, where we live, and how we travel. Environmental consciousness is also changing our culture: the stories we tell, the ways we teach and learn, our outer rituals and innermost beliefs.1 One context in which ecological evolution is taking place is within the spiritual communities and practical initiatives inspired by Rudolf Steiner, an early twentieth-century Austrian teacher, whose interests ranged from education to agriculture to “how to know higher worlds.” Students of Steiner’s spiritual science, also known as anthroposophy (from the Greek words for “human” and “wisdom”), are active in every corner of the environmental movement, from organic farming to envi- ronmental education to holistic scientific research.
