The Lorax



This article talks about Longleaf Pine trees, which until Hurricane Hugo, were very common along the entire east coast. Many acts have been made to replant these trees which once made up many of the forests from Virgina to Texas. Replanting these types of trees is a solution that many people have looked to. We must also avoid cutting these trees down to conserve the little three percent that still exist in this nation. There are barriers to this solution, one of which is the fact that UNLESS someone really cares no one will want to do the labor it requires to make this species thrive.  I believe that people should be willing to help the environment because with these trees decreasing in amount so are the 140 species that live in this habitat.

Who speaks for these trees?

  1. Volunteering is a big help to any issue that needs to be resolved. If you’re going to make things work, with helping the trees, everyone has to be all for it. You need all the support you can. Preserving mother nature’s gift to the world is an important factor to keeping human beings alive.

  2. I think that this is one environmental issue that is just going to take time to replace. It isn't something that is going to be able to replaced soon.

  3. Trees are important to all things in life. If you get rid of them you're getting rid of all human beings source of oxygen, animal homes, etc. Preserving and repopulating trees is a good idea.

  5. Hopefully time will come through and fix this problem. Our generation will never see this atleast I think. Maybe our kids generations will see the change though!

  6. This is going to take a lot of time and effort to replace the trees and get things back to where they were.

  9. I agree with Salena. Volunteering and having a support team will defiantly help. But sometimes things just have to fix themselves.

  10. I think that this issue is not only pertains to the LongLeaf pine trees, but also many other types of plants in our nation. We should work together to put an end to the cutting down of these trees.
