What's the Point of the Lorax?

Guest Blogger: Mabel Aff - Generation Z - 8 years old - Oakland, California


One of the best environmental movies around is "The Lorax". We asked 8 year old Mabel Aff to sum up the point of the movie in a sentence or two. She did it in Spanish but we have translated for those of us who don't speak the language. Thanks Mabel.



"The story of the Lorax tells us not to be greedy and selfish because to be greedy and selfish can have consequences for you and other people. Don't be greedy and selfish." Mabel Aff


Her drawing sums up the entire environmental problem in one word, "Mas!" Mabel gets the point. Do we?
