Published in 1971, Dr. Seuss's The Lorax is a classic environmental fable that remains highly relevant today as a critique of unchecked industrialization, consumerism, and greed. It serves as both a warning about the ecological consequences of "biggering" a business at the expense of nature and a call to action for individual stewardship. Core Themes and Lessons
