Access a preview of this resource here.

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss is a light-hearted but cautionary tale with a critically important message surrounding sustainability. If we do not collectively take responsibility for the stewardship of the environment, then our own world will soon be like the one that the Lorax left behind. Left to the devices of greed-based business interests, the resources of our world are being consumed at an abominable rate. And soon, they will all be gone. So while the Once-ler did eventually see the error of his greedy ways, it was already close to too late for his world.
