We KNOW pressure works!

Another (iconic) example - In the 60s, bald eagles were nearly gone. Then the people fought back. DDT was banned. Now? 71,000 eagles and counting. NEVER underestimate public pressure.

A graphic titled “Pressure Works” with a thumbs-up icon and a protest photo background. It tells the story of bald eagle recovery: In the 1960s, bald eagles were disappearing due to the pesticide DDT, with only 417 nesting pairs left. A photo of pesticide spraying is shown. Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring sparked a nationwide movement, pictured alongside the book cover. The final panel notes that DDT was banned in 1972 and today there are over 71,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 states, with a photo of a bald eagle included.
