Where did the idea for the name “Unless Ranch” come from?
“The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss (Random House, ©1971), is a story told to a young boy about the ruin of a forest community when a young inventor uses up all the forest’s resources in order to fulfill the demand for his new product, the thneed. The Lorax, who protects the forest, warns the young inventor, the Once-ler, about what will happen if he does not take care of the environment but the Once-ler ignores him. As the Once-ler’s business booms, he asks his family to move to the forest and work in the factory with him. Soon, more and more people move to the forest. Increased population pressures and excessive use of the resources have a devastating result on the forest.”
The famous quote from the book and movie: “UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
