Answer 1

Francis Moore Lappe is the author of 'Diet for a Small Planet,' a book that promotes an eco-minded approach to resource use, different from Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring,' which highlighted the dangers of pesticides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Francis Moore Lappe wrote the book "Diet for a Small Planet" which encourages an eco-mind that rejects depletion of resources in the name of profit. This book falls under the wider umbrella of environmental ethics, which is a field heavily influenced by pioneering works such as those by Rachel Carson. Carson's "Silent Spring" is a seminal work that exposed the environmental damages caused by pesticides, like DDT, and is credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement.
