The Obligation to Endure, 1962
The article, The Obligation to Endure, 1962 delves into giving insights into the manner in which humans continue to pollute the environment to the extent of causing their suffering to themselves.
The author presents logical facts about how a better man would have handled pest control measures in a manner that is would promote environmental conservation and preservation.
However, the author recognizes that while pest control is necessary, she criticizes the use of large volumes of chemicals that not only have adverse effects on the ecological systems but also threatens and worsens the conditions around humanity.
Nonetheless, 50 years later, the use of chemicals in pest control and farming has significantly attracted the attention of conservationists, global international bodies and governments to adopt biological control methods as well as other environmentally safe measures.
Notably, while various attempts have been made to reduce environmental pollution, they have not been successful because of the increased use of dangerous chemicals in various parts of the world.
