When the Lorax first appears to speak on behalf of the trees, the Once-ler claims he is doing no harm by cutting down Truffula Trees to make Thneeds.
Regarding this, what are some reasons the Lorax gives for saving the trees?
Trees absorb the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hence slowing down ozone depletion, and this in turn helps to control global warming. Trees, combined with the natural savannah, create a natural habitat for animals in our Jungle. Trees offer shelter to the birds of the air such as the Turaco birds.
Furthermore, what does the Lorax say about the trees? By the ruins of the once beautiful Truffula-tree forest, he meets the Once-ler, who tells Ted of the tree-loving Lorax, who used to say, “I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.”
Also, what are the trees called in The Lorax?
Truffula trees
What is the main point of the Lorax?
The Lorax is a cautionary tale primarily about a person's responsibilities to the environment. Dr. Seuss introduces the Once-ler, a reckless Thneed entrepreneur whose unfettered ambition leads to the destruction of the immediate environment.
