To increase productivity , the Once-ler invested in technology. Then, he invested in a rotating axe-machine to cut the Truffula trees down more quickly. And, eventually, he invested in an assembly line to increase his rate of production and allow his workers to specialize in one aspect of Thneed-assembly.

4. Why is the pollution problem a tragedy of the commons in a reverse way? In the tragedy of the commons, individuals take something out of a resource, which may be harmful (shortages for everyone). However, pollution is putting greenhouse gases and other substances into a common (air), which is also detrimental.

the Lorax was doing in the Once-Lers tree. This shows tragedy of the commons because the Once-Ler called it his tree when it obviously wasn’t his. The land was a common land and yet he took ownership over it. The benefits for the Once-Ler outweigh the environmental negatives in his eyes.

A law that states you are innocent until proven guilty. Outcomes that are not the ones foreseen and intended by a person’s original actions. SURVEY. 30 seconds. In the movie “The Lorax” was was one unintended consequence of clear cutting the tuffula trees?

Did the Once-ler have real progress? Why or why not? He did have real progress in the beginning because he was able to make thneeds at a fast rate while still having truffula trees for resources. But then when the truffula trees began to dwindle as a result of the pollution, the Once-ler had to shut down his business.

What could he have done? Answers will vary but may include: the Once-ler could have replanted Truffula trees as he cut them down; cut down the Truffula trees at a sustainable rate; built a factory that didn’t create smog, etc.

What are 3 words the Once-ler used to describe the Lorax? OT dish, brownish, mossy. air, trees, and pond.

Why hasn’t the environment returned to a pre-Thneed state? It has returned to its natural state, although the Truffula trees were small, because the people learnt and realised that they had destroyed “nature’s beauty” and it would get worse if they just left it how it was before, like a dump yard.

At the beginning and end of the show, The Once-ler is seen as only glowing eyes and green hands. At the end of Act 1, we see the machine The Once-ler has invented to chop down trees very quickly – the Super Axe Hacker. The Super Axe Hacker looks like a giant motorcycle.

Aunt Grizelda referring to the Lorax. Aunt Grizelda (also simply known as Grizelda) is a minor antagonist in the 2012 computer-animated adaptation of The Lorax. She is the aunt of the Once-Ler and like the rest of her family, she cares only about money.

The swans are long-tailed and floppy-winged birds with orange bodies and yellow heads and beaks. They fly through the air, swim in the water, sit the Truffula trees, and their calls ring out in space. After the smog from the factories pollutes the air, they are forced to leave in a sad exit flight.

5. What technology did the Once-ler invent to increase the production ofThneeds? He used a “super axe hacker” to chop trees more efficiently and an assembly line to increase production.

The Once-ler answers that once the world was beautiful, containing a wide variety of happy animals that lived among beautiful “Truffula trees.” The Once-ler cut down the trees because they were excellent material to make products he invented called “Thneeds.” The “Thneeds” became a huge marketing success, forcing him …

The Lorax argues for the preservation of the trees and the animals that live in the Truffula Tree forest. The Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish are forced to abandon their homes as more trees are cut down. The Thneed production plant causes pollution in an environment that was once pristine.

The moral of the story is a simple one of respect for the environment and environmental sustainability. Basically, that unrestrained commercial endeavors eventually spoil the natural world, leaving it a wasteland, unfit to support life.

The Lorax was banned because it portrays the foresting industry in an arguable negative way. Some people felt that this book was persuading children to be against logging.

Seuss’ The Lorax has gone online. In the book, the Once-ler’s face is never seen, probably because he’s meant as a stand-in for everyone responsible for abusing our natural resources (he’s also meant as a stand-in for all those bastards with spindly green arms). The Lorax opens in 3D on March 2, 2012.

The truffula tree is based on a real species of tree in Elliot’s house that Dr. Seuss saw when he traveled there with his first wife. The trees bear a faint resemblance to the clovers in Horton Hears A Who.
