Abstract	During the 1960s a flurry of provocative publications sparked broader awareness and concern for the environment. In 1971, Dr. Seuss published "The Lorax" to communicate environmental concerns to young children. The book engages complex themes with rhythmic language and colorful artwork. For decades, the book has served as an early introduction to the tradeoffs between consumption and the environment inherent in market-based economics. Over time, the environmental movement has evolved. For many, technological innovation insures a sustainable future; while for others, technological innovation exacerbates challenges facing society and the environment. Although written for children one-half century ago, "The Lorax" represents a compelling expression of the complexity of environmental concerns and controversies. (As Provided).
