 * "The Lorax"** is a story by Dr. Seuss first published in 1971. The plot is quite simple, but it has a very strong message. A significant character in the story, the Once-ler, can be thought of as an industry or corporation that affects the environment. The Lorax speaks for the trees the Once-ler cuts down for Thneeds, or products. Although it its target audience is for children, it explains the cycle industries go through and how they greatly affect our environment.

In Science class, we learned about global issues such as: global warming, extinction of animals, pollution, and many more. We made Lorax poems and students chose their own topics. This way, we could inform many people about worldwide dilemmas and more people might make a change. Yesterday, April 22, was Earth Day and the whole Middle School tried their best to help the world. The Lorax, even if he is just one person, can make a lot of change.
