“Dr. Seuss’ THE LORAX”
The Lorax depicts many environmental issues in the plastic-made city of Thneedville where even the trees were made of plastic and residents no longer saw the beauty of trees. It reminded me of the modern-day cities that are made of of buildings leaving no room for trees and the air quality is polluted. I've remember hearing in a interview for our animal services project that many people believe that animals who enter their homes are intruding but really the homes/infrastructure have always been their home too. The main points that were depict in the movie were the polluted air of the atmosphere and cutting down trees. Onceler ignored the warnings from the Lorax, Oncleler were only looking at present-day success but did not consider the long time impact of cutting down the trees and essentially ruining the forest. The litman named Mr. O’Hare figured that he could make money off of selling clean air to the people and the people didn’t know that if they had trees (and let the environment do it's natural process) they wouldn’t have to purchase bottled clean air like they had believed. It reminded me of what we learned in our water unit when companies begin to bottle water and sell it even though we don’t necessary need to do that water.
The boy named Ted, decided to try and bring the trees back to Thneedville after hearing the story from aged Oncleler, he went into the center of the city to plant it for everyone to see. After finding out what their city had been doing to the environment and learning that trees make clean air for free the people of Thneedville decided to stop their harmful ways and restore the environment.
This movie is great for children who will remember the story The Lorax and they are taught about the significance of maintaining our
