The Lorax


The lorax was a great movie that gave a story about the environment and how there are only a limited amount of recourses.  The story started when the onceler shows up and sees a forest of truffula trees, he realizes that he can make thneeds out of them.  A thneed is a fine something that all people need and that he can make a profit out of it.  Through cutting down the truffula trees he encounters creatures called the lorax.  The lorax is a creature that lives in the truffula trees and they speak for the trees because they have no tongues.  When the onceler had been making the thneeds he had polluted the air, water, and had chopped down the special trees.  All of the animals had left because there was nothing to live with.  The lorax and the rest of the animals left because there was no habitat to live in.  The movie was a great example to show that if we don’t conserve and manage all of our recourses our world could end up like the one that the onceler lived in.
