In “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss the main character The Onceler pollutes too much. “I yelled at the Lorax, ‘Now listen here, Dad! All you do is yap-yap and say “Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!” Well, I have my rights, sir, and I'm telling you I intend to go on doing just what I dol And, for your information, you Lorax, I'm figgering on biggering

and BIGGERING

and BIGGERING,

turning MORE Truffula Trees into Thneeds which everyone, EVERYONE, EVERYONE needs!’” He makes the fish go away. He makes the birds go away. And he cuts down every tree.

One reason why the Onceler pollutes too much. “You’re glumping the pond where the humming fish hummed! No more can they hum for the gills are gummed. So I’m sending them off. Oh, their future is so dreary. They’ll walk on their fins and get woefully weary. In search of some water that isn't so smeary.” This shows his machines pollute the water too much. So the fish can't breathe. As a result, The Lorax sends them away to find a new pond to live in.

Another reason why the Onceler pollutes too much is he made all the birds move to new homes “‘I am the Lorax," he coughed and he whiffed. He sneezed and he snuffled. He snarggled. He sniffed. "Once-ler" he cried with a cruffulous croak. "Once-ler You're making such smogulous smoke! My poor Swomee-Swans ... why, they can't sing a note! No one can sing who has smog in his throat.’” This quote shows that the air is polluted. The birds can’t breathe and can’t sing so the lorax has to send them away to find a new home.

Another reason why the lorax pollutes too much is because he cut down every tree. “And at that very moment, we heard a loud whack! From outside in the fields came a sickening smack of an axe on a tree. Then we heard the tree fall. The very last Truffula Tree of them all!” This means that no one can breathe without trees. If the Onceler cuts down every tree, he cant make anymore Thneeds so all his family and friends go away.

In conclusion the Lorax shows that the Onceler pollutes too much. When his machines made all the birds fly away. When they made all the fish have to go away. And when he cut down every single Truffula tree. All this shows that the Onceler pollutes too much.
