WE SPEAK FOR THE TREES
Inspiring Kids to Speak like the Lorax
What do we do?
Children, under adult supervision, are in the process of delivering a copy of The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, to every member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. Thus far, we have delivered over 400 copies, signed by citizens of the United States with messages regarding their concern over the lack of regard for the environment that the current administration is displaying.
Is this a cute and clever gimmick? Sure it is! But it is SO much more than that!
This endeavor seeks to teach our children to engage in the democratic process while also teaching them the principles behind the story of The Lorax. On the cover, The Lorax appears to be a simple story of protecting the earth. Dig deeper, and it is truly a story about speaking for those that don't have voices. By including our children in this advocacy, we turn the meaning of the story into an action they can take with them the rest of their lives!
