Many people around the world do not see that their wants and needs for natural resources are destroying the world and the environment. Although you hear about it all over the news, people do not realize that the littlest need can turn into a huge need, causing the resources to become slim to none. The need/want of natural resources by the society, is not only hurting the society, but also the biodiversity and the environment, which is shown in “The Lorax” and Easter’s End.

Although Easter Island did not have technology or factories, the society there was still harming the environment because the amount of trees being used. The trees that were being cut down, caused animals to lose their homes and eventually becoming extinct. The islanders used the natural resources for food and tools while the Once-ler and his family used the resources for thneeds. The islanders fought over the resources in Easter’s End, but the Once-ler ignored the Lorax when he tried to stop the use of the resources. Also in Easter’s End, the fighting was so bad and the natural resources became so scarce, that the humans began to eat each other to survive. In both “The Lorax” and Easter’s End, there were people trying to protect the natural resources, both of them failed and all the resources were used up. The need and want of the natural resources destroyed land in both texts. Easter Island and the Street of the Lift Lorax were both beautiful places at first until humans had to destroy
