The Lorax

The Lorax

Published one year after Earth Day was first instituted in April 1970, the beloved Dr. Seuss book has been widely recognized as a cautionary tale about greed and environmental destruction. The Lorax tells the story of how the greedy Once-ler chops down the Truffula Trees for his business, while the Lorax warns him against such decisions. The Once-ler’s actions lead to pollution and the disappearance of the Lorax, who leaves behind a message urging readers to take action to protect the environment.
