MYSTERY SOLVED: Rachel Carson's Ecological Critique

Mystery solved.  I was thinking of Rachel Hertz, so Rachel Carson did not denounce fragrance sensitivity as "fear based".  Rachel Herz did.  Thanks Linda for finding the article I was thinking of and clarifying my "muddy brain" recall.  :)

The principal causes of ecological degradation, Carson insisted, were "the gods of profit and production." The chief obstacle to a sustainable relation to the environment lay in the fact that we live "in an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at any cost is seldom challenged."
