	The Lorax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tale chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax (a "mossy, bossy" man-like creature), who speaks for the trees against the greedy Once-ler.
		The Lorax vehemently protested the destruction of the Truffula forest, stating that the Once-ler was crazy with greed and that his business was destroying the Truffula ecosystem, causing mass migrations of native fauna, including the bear-like Bar-ba-loots and species of fish and birds.
		The Lorax has the distinction of being the only book that Seuss himself ever changed after publication, by removing the Lorax's line, "I hear things are just as bad up at Lake Erie!" which he found to be out of place in his fantasy work, as it referred to a real world place.

	The Commons Blog: The Lorax Revisited
		Viewing the tale of the Lorax through an institutional lens, ruin is not the result of corporate greed, but a lack of institutions.
		Thus the story of the Lorax is still naturally interpreted as a story where the Once-ler regrets his greed rather than one where he regrets inevitable consequences of the incentives created by the lack of property rights to the truffula trees.
		For me, Professor Adler's "revisiting" of The Lorax is useful in revealing some of the flaws in the modern environmental movement and for proposing an alternative viewpoint from which to address environmental problems.

	Kid's Book Review: The Lorax
		Published in 1971, and perhaps inspired by the "save our planet" mindset of the 1960s, The Lorax is an ecological warning that still rings true today amidst the dangers of clear-cutting, pollution, and disregard for the earth's environment.
		It's a hat.") As the trees swiftly disappear and the denizens leave for greener pastures, the fuzzy yellow Lorax (who speaks for the trees "for the trees have no tongues") repeatedly warns the Once-ler, but his words of wisdom are for naught.
		Finally the Lorax extricates himself from the scorched earth (by the seat of his own furry pants), leaving only a rock engraved "UNLESS." Thus, with his own colorful version of a compelling morality play, Dr. Seuss teaches readers not to fool with Mother Nature.

		It is fair enough to point out that the environmentalists of Quincy may not adequately represent the environmentalists of Davis or Detroit, and that the forests are a national resource.
		Rather than declaring bureaucratic war, denying the right of local communities to a powerful voice in policy that effects them, the environmental community, the self-appointed Lorax, might seek a seat at the council table, engage itself in the political process, find and convince local allies, and help build a democratic environmentalism.
		The Lorax knows the trees; to speak for the trees one must meet the trees of Plumas, Lassen and Sierra, see them as the snow leaves in the spring, camp under them in the summer, bring your skis in the winter.

	Talk:The Lorax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bob, the article can mention that The Lorax is regarded as a parable about industrial destruction of the environment, because that goes beyond any one editor's point of view.
		Someone who's never read the book and reads the article is likely to think that the story is actually about ecosystems and native fauna, when in fact those terms never show up anywhere in the book, and it would be inconceivable that they would.
		The article fails to give a sense that on its most literal level, The Lorax is simply a delightful tale that takes place in an imaginary world populated by weirdly named creatures and colorful woolly trees.
