REFLECTION
“Dr. Seuss’ THE LORAX”

The Lorax depicts many environmental issues in the plastic-made city of Thneedville where even the trees were made of plastic and residents no longer saw the beauty of trees. It reminded me of the modern-day cities that are made of of buildings leaving no room for trees and the air quality is polluted. I've remember hearing in a interview for our animal services project that many people believe that animals who enter their homes are intruding but really the homes/infrastructure have always been their home too. The main points that were depict in the movie were the polluted air of the atmosphere and cutting down trees. Onceler ignored the warnings from the Lorax, Oncleler were only looking at present-day success but did not consider the long time impact of cutting down the trees and essentially ruining the forest. The litman named Mr. O’Hare figured that he could make money off of selling clean air to the people and the people didn’t know that if they had trees (and let the environment do it's natural process) they wouldn’t have to purchase bottled clean air like they had believed. It reminded me of what we learned in our water unit when companies begin to bottle water and sell it even though we don’t necessary need to do that water.

The boy named Ted, decided to try and bring the trees back to Thneedville after hearing the story from aged Oncleler, he went into the center of the city to plant it for everyone to see. After finding out what their city had been doing to the environment and learning that trees make clean air for free the people of Thneedville decided to stop their harmful ways and restore the environment.

This movie is great for children who will remember the story The Lorax and they are taught about the significance of maintaining our

    Lorman Lumber Case Study

    Lorman Lumber is a publicly traded company with widely held shares. Its Yamica location in rural Oregon is one of the company’s largest. The purpose of the plant is to process and treat wood, which it does through a number of facilities. The Sawmill began producing lumber products in 1947, which it does by peeling, milling, and chipping raw wood. Lorman has a known record of producing good profits, and will often pay out generous performance-based bonuses to executives. Although the Yamica plant is somewhat outdated, it is still considered to be efficient and profitable. Starting in 1968, the company began using new methods to condition and pressure-treat wood products through the use of preservatives. These chemicals, Creosote and PCP, are reported in recent data that suggests a possible link to various health disorders. The problem lies with a number of drainage ditches surrounding the plant that drain into the Mohegan River, which then leads to Yamica’s municipal water intake two miles downstream. The river is also used for recreational fishing, and houses sensitive fisheries. The plant’s drainage ditches are screened to remove the required level of contaminants by the EPA. This case focuses around Ben Watson, a young managerial accountant and assistant production manager for Lorman Lumber Co.’s Yamica sawmill. Ben has been with the company for six years, where he is working on an analysis of a proposed capital investment to recapture and recycle wastewater by refitting the Sawmill with a closed cycle system. Ben is under significant pressure because of this project: • • The data collected for the analysis is based on educated estimates, which given the sensitivity of the project, creates an uneasy feeling. The number of people affected: While the town of Yamica could have potential health problems from contaminants, the town relies heavily on employment at the Sawmill.…

    Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module.
