Abstract
This passage from the end of the children’s classic The Lorax provides a solution to the overuse of natural resources that was the central theme in the book, in this case, the removal of every last Truffula tree. But it also provides a message that some environmental problems can be solved, or at least left in a better condition, through the careful management of plants. In this case, phytoremediation may bring back cleaner groundwater, rather than the Lorax and all his friends.
