Once-Ler Helping The Environment Quotes

532 Words3 Pages

Dr. Seuss once said, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”Dr. Seuss uses this quote in The Lorax and it shows that The Once-Ler didn’t care about the whole environment and he completely ruined it. To help fix this problem we all need to think about how our actions affect the environment. Recycling helps the environment and there are many other ways to help the environment

If we don’t want our earth to turn into a wasteland like Thneed-ville and we are heading that direction but we can still fix it just like Ted did when he planted the Truffula Tree. One thing we could do is recycle. If people recycled the Thneeds then The Once-Ler wouldn’t have had to cut down as many trees.
