In 'Earth in the Balance', Al Gore discusses major environmental challenges such as global warming, deforestation, and ozone depletion. He advocates for a 'Global Marshall Plan' to address these issues through international cooperation and sustainable practices. The book emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift in societal values to prioritize environmental protection.

The Lorax is a story about the Once-ler, a businessman who arrives in a flourishing forest of Truffula trees and begins to chop them down to build a garment called a Thneed. Despite the protests of the Lorax, who speaks for the trees, the Once-ler continues his destructive activities, leading to the devastation of the environment and the displacement of the wildlife. The story highlights the consequences of unchecked industrialization and the importance of environmental conservation. The book concludes with a message of hope, as the Once-ler passes on the last Truffula tree seed to a young boy, encouraging him to restore the forest and bring back the Lorax and his friends.
