The Truax Vs The Lorax

Dr. Seuss story The Lorax is filled with allusions and themes, that reference the Bible, American history, and other books. The Lorax published in 1971, and in the 1970s American history where the environmental movement began and laws were passed to clean the air and water. The story of the Lorax portrayed how nature is something that needs to be protected and not destroyed by big companies. Ted (main character) goes on a quest to find a real tree, a truffula tree that the Lorax protects. On his journey, he meets the Once-ler, the man who knows what happen to all the truffula trees. Ted also encounters Mr. O’Hare, the mayor of Thneedville and the owner of the biggest company in Thneedville. O’Hare is consumed with making more money and symbolize a political figure. The Lorax represents a guardian and a Jesus figure. Today the story does have that same message regarding saving the environment, but in today’s current society, there is so much that can be related to the Lorax’s message of saving the environment.

Another problem is transportation; cars, planes, trucks, and other vehicles emit various greenhouse gases when in use, or when idling. I would create more solar-powered cars, and if possible, wind-cars, or other cars that run using renewable sources. I would also increase the prices of gas, to discourage people from buying it. However, this would be very, very expensive, and the fuel companies would not agree with the

Michael Pollan describes the effects of climate change and the different things that people can do to help correct this problem in his essay entitled "Why Bother?" He believes that even the simplest changes can create a huge difference. One of the things the he says will help is taking one day out of the week to use as little technology as possible. Things to not use include cars/motor vehicles, cellphones, electricity, and more. Just taking one day away from these things will help reduce pollution. Another thing he says would help a lot is planting a garden. Planting a garden will provide people with their own home grown food which reduces the need for food shipments and commercial growing. This reduced the pollution caused by the vehicle

28. So many ways to help stop Global warming and here some options. – Speak up! Talk to your friends and family, and make sure your representatives are making good discussions.

Some small, day-to-day things you can do to help are finding alternatives to driving as much as possible, make energy efficiency a dominant factor when choosing appliances, turn lights off when not using them, recycle, use less water when cleaning yourself or your home, eat locally produced food, and more. Cars release high levels of carbon dioxide, so doing things like walking to work, carpooling, and riding on public transportation instead of driving yourself everywhere. The more energy you use, the more carbon you’re putting into the atmosphere so using energy efficient appliances, saving water, recycling, turning lights off when you don’t need them, and eating locally produced foods will reduce your carbon footprint. It takes a great deal of energy to ship foods from long distances; keep lights and household appliances running; and clean, distribute, and pump water through our homes. Some large things you can do are stop deforestation, get our elected leaders involved and fight misinformation. Deforestation is said to account for 10 percent of the world's “heat-trapping emissions” (Union)

In my opinion we each can make a difference in our going green initiative, by doing small stuff like not littering and making sure we recycle, something small as our

The main reasons for Global Warming is pollution. One of the main reason are pollution is fuels like fossil fuel. To stop Global Warming the United States and other countries are not using fossil fuels and other fuels that cause pollution. Those fuels are bad for peoples' health. Also, another way is to get more job in the industries, try to stop air pollution by carpooling. (http://www.ucsusa.org/) The best thing to reduce emission is not to waste energy. People can use less heat. People use less gas. People need to take a shorter shower because they do not want to use too much hot water because the hot water heater is one largest electricity. Do not keep the refrigeration open too long. People need to use electric heat and not gas heat. People need to wait until the dishwasher is full. (C2ES,

In my opinion, “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss is generally a good story. Besides the political commentary, it is merely a pellucid story that metaphors a pervasive environmental problem triggered by human and industrialization. Some comments about this book seem to be a little complicated. For example, in Pleasants’ view, “the story’s theme of idyllic nature despoiled by greedy humans is, at best, oversimplified”. She thinks such a story cannot ignore “the necessity for humans to live and labor in nature”. However from my perspective, I think when Dr. Seuss wrote this story down, what he wanted is to educate youngsters to care about the environment and protect the ecology instead of teaching children about the dark side of capitalism. Some other

Getting CFL bulbs can save you over $40 a year rather than keeping your regular incandescent lights. Purchasing water conserving showerheads and toilets can also help not only by cutting emissions, but it will save you money too! When building or purchasing a house, be sure that the insulation in it isn't bad. It needs to be good and reliable. This saves on energy and your money as well. Widows are important too. These are just a few out of the hundreds of ways that you can help. So when people think that they can't help, or have no authority when it comes to reducing the amount of carbon dioxide you use, each person can help. If every person took this serious and pulled their share, maybe the carbon dioxide emissions wouldn't be as high and maybe our oceans wouldn't have to suffer.

We can reduce air pollution by Conserving energy, Use energy efficient light bulbs, Participate in your local utility’s energy conservation programs, Limit driving by carpooling, using public transportation, biking and walking, Combine Shopping trips for fewer trips, Use electric or hand-powered lawn care equipment and mobiles, Be careful not to spill gasoline when filling up your car, Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full, Choose environmentally friendly cleaners and bleaches, Advocate for emission reductions from power plants and more stringent national vehicle emission standards, Decrease construction, Decrease fuel burning, Space heaters: Use them only when someone is awake

Being humans the main cause of rising global temperatures, it is crucial that every single person in the world should also embrace a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

We have to set an example for others to care as much as we do, start a “chain reaction of behavioral change”. We need to start thinking; get rid of the cheap energy mentality, and start living green; less energy consumption, hybrids when at all possible, less resource waste, garden. Yes garden. Planting a garden provides you an almost free meal and no “carbon footprint”. This incorporates truly cheap energy; good old sunshine, photosynthesis.

On the bright side, there are things we can do. This issue is a result of our lack of action, our lifestyles, and our way of living. Many people want to help, but are not even sure where to begin. One-way thing that we can do is to reduce the amount of co2 in our atmosphere. There are simple changes we can make in our daily routines to get started in doing that.

Climate change is a worldwide issue. Not only is firm action and leadership critical in the United States, but also international efforts need to work toward reducing emissions. Strong public demand for climate change is crucial to enact effective global warming solutions for the future. Unless immediate action is taken, climate change will continue to escalate and continue to affect the entire planet. Ways nations and individuals can help repair the earth's atmosphere is reduce air pollution, use green energy, stop deforestation. Reducing air pollution could have a dramatic effect on climate change. Humans could impact this reduction by simple things such as conserving

You are probably wondering how to actually help stop global warming. You can do more green things but here are some simple things you can do. You can choose renewable energy source. Pick a energy supplier that
