Development

compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs."
(Report of the World Commission on

8. Sustainability Paradigm Ikerd, 2012:
5 Key Principles:
• Principle 1: All materials
come from the environment
• Principle 2: Economic activity
involves the transformation of
natural materials
• Principle 3: The environment
is the final “sink” into which all
wastes go
• Principle 4: There is no
“away” (wastes can change
physical or chemical form, but
do not leave the environment)
• Principle 5: The environment
provides critical life-sustaining
services
22. "But now," says the Once-ler,
"Now that you're here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not.
"SO...
Catch!" calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
"It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!
You're in charge of the last of the Truffula
Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come
back.
23. The Bar-ba-loots are forced to leave town as there are no more Truffula fruits to eat.
24. And the Humming Fish which cannot live in “gluppity glop” and “schloppity schlop”
go in search of clean water.
25. The Swomee Swans, with “smogulous smog” in their lungs, also fly for clearer skies.
27. Awesome Stories
Once upon a time, in a made-up world, there
were beautiful trees with brightly colored tops.
People called them "Truffula" Trees.
No one, in our world, has ever seen such
magical trees because they never existed here.
Instead, we have different kinds of beautiful
trees.
Then ... something happened in Truffula-Tree
land. It no longer has those trees, or the birds,
or the fish or the other animals which used to
live nearby. Even The Lorax - who spoke for the
trees - is no longer there.
People wanted the trees for other things, so
they cut them down. That caused the animals,
who needed the trees to live, to go somewhere
else - or die.
We have magical trees in our world, too. Let’s
explore some of the places where they grow.

DESCRIPTION Of the many core
responsibilities of citizenship, the most
basic has been being a “good citizen.”
The founding generation believed that
liberty and freedom could only survive if
the Republic and its people were
virtuous. For them, and still today, this
means respecting the country’s
institutions, fulfilling civic duties,
contributing to the community, and
generally being a good neighbor, such
as advertised in this 1971 public service
poster.
