Green Entertainment - The Lorax

To celebrate Earth Day, I will be posting about entertainment that tells you how to help your planet, Earth. I would like to talk about one of my favorite movies,  The Lorax! The movie is about a town, Thneedville, that has no real nature inside the town. A boy name Ted who wants to make the girl of his dreams, who seems to be the only one who cares about nature in her town, happy by bringing her a Truffula Tree seed. In order to get one, he has to go outside of town and meet the Once-Ler. The Once-Ler tells him about what happened to the real trees outside of town and the story of The Lorax. The Once-Ler is inventing a fabric called a thneed, which is made up of the fluff on the Truffula Tree that he cut down. The Lorax gets angry and warns him to not cut down anymore trees. The Once-Ler ignores his warnings later and cuts down more trees because his invention became a success. Unfortunately, he cuts down all the trees! The Once-Ler gives Ted the last seed and goes back to town. The mayor, Mr.O'Hare, sells fresh air in bottles and does not want real nature in the town because it can put him out of business because trees produce fresh water. Ted must try to plant the last seed before he gets caught by Mr.O'Hare. The movie is mostly about trees and sends a message to people to plant and take care of trees. I love how this movie supports nature and animals. Thanks to the creators of The Lorax and Dr.Seuss!
