The Lorax, is an ecological warning that still holds true today about the  dangers of clear-cutting, pollution, and disregard for the earth's environment.

The mean Once-ler, tells the story himself by creating a mass-market of Thneeds. ("It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.")  He created these Thneeds from Truffula Tree.  He cut them all down for that the Swomee-Swans, Brown Bar-ba- loots, and Humming-Fishes had left none for these specices.  Without these trees these animals could become extinct.
