How about Aesop's "Ant and the Grasshopper." There was the Ant, listening to operatic tenors, drinking wine, eating food, fucking like a crazed weasel, and all of a sudden winter happened. Now in the pro-life affirming new enlightenment age of wine, wo/men, and song, winter is nothing more than the time of year for autum beer, meat with gravy, and playing in the snow, and then coming in to get naked and drink hot toddies in front of the fire.
The thing with the Lorax and environmentalism is that John Maynard Keynes was right: in the long run he was dead. If you plan to live longer than the day after tomorrow, you might not want to cut down every tree in sight today. Like war consumption is not profitable. In fact, consumption was the name of a disease and even today, if you start out a consumer, you end up consumed.
