    Every second, 1.5 acres of trees are cut down in a rainforest. That’s equivalent to two football pitches per second. At this rate, the Amazon rainforest will become devoid of life by 2030. Cutting down trees not only damages large habitual areas of the estimated 30 million people who live in the rainforest along with the animals they solely depend on, but affects the environment in many harmful ways. This can be through rapid and violent changes in the climate, an unbalanced ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen impacting hugely on global warming, damage to the biodiversity of animals and tribes and fatal effects to the soil. Trees that are cut down can be used for a variety of different common purposes including rubber, oil, wax, glue and, more importantly, fuel. However, the list does not stop there. Trees are cut down to gain access to medicinal plants and create vast spaces to mine important ores. Yet possibly the biggest reason trees are cut down is to grow food. Commercial farmers need more land space to cultivate crops to feed our ever growing population as well as local farmers providing food for their family.…

    “Mister!” he said (Lorax) with a saw dusty sneeze, “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. And I’m asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs” he was very upset as he shouted and puffed-“What’s that THING you’ve made out of Truffula tuft?” The Lorax said, “Sir! You are crazy with greed. There is no one on earth who would buy that fool Thneed! When The Lorax drifted away from the polluted mess he left a pile of rocks where he stood, with one word...''Unless''.

All my life I’d been searching for the trees such as these, the touch of their tufts was much softer than silk and they had they had the sweet smell and fresh butterfly milk.” Said Once-ler “Through the years, while my buildings have fallen apart, I’ve worried about it with all of my heart.” The Once-ler realized he had nothing left he gave away his last Truffla seed to help grow a new…

    The Once-ler was over harvesting all the trees and did not replant for future generations to come. “Humanity is cutting down its forest, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them”-Asimov. Most people don't care what happens to all the truffula trees and animals, especially rich people they knock down trees just so they can make more money. The name for removing trees without replanting them is called deforestation. Without the trees the Bar-ba-Loots faced a big famine, which is when there's no more food and the animal will starve.…

    Not only were the trees being affected but the population in the area was also affected. Three populations survival in particular was endangered by the Once-ler’s actions. One of the populations affected were the Humming fish. These fish were located in Lake Erie and were unable to breathe through their gills due to water pollution from the Thneed factory. Another population that was affected was the Brown Barbaloos. The Brown Barbaloos did not have enough of a food supply to sustain life. This was because the fruit off the Truffula trees were their source of food and since the trees were quickly disappearing so was the Barbaloos food source. The Swammy Swams were also affected. They were not able to sing/breathe due to the air pollution from the factory. This can be related to problems in society today. Big companies are a big cause of pollution in the air and water. Also there are companies that clear cut forests down. Dr. Seuss reminds of these people, and uses the Once-ler as an…
