Dr. Seuss's character, the Lorax, "speaks for the trees." So the timber industry
financed a rebuttal book:
Truax. It stars a fanatical "protector of
trees" (named Guardbark) who gets lectured about natural resources by a
lumberjack.
The book features the immortal line: "
How far will we go? How
much will we pay? To keep a few minnows from dying away?"

Truax here. Tip via
