Here from a humorous tweet that said the Lorax radicalized Luigi Mangione.
I never read this as a child, but it was so profoundly impactful for me reading as an adult, especially living in the Caribbean constantly exposed to the effects of consumerism and Global Warming. It also simplifies the reason why I left my career as a biologist and environmentalist. Every animal or plant I got attached to slowly started showing up on the IUCN Red List and no one seemed to care.
Fantastic read, and I hope we can all be better to nature, our giver and caretaker.
