I have an embroidered, velcro-backed patch of this for my range hat.
Hey comrade I have the same patch on my plate carrier.
The cool metal didn't move at first when his finger tipped the trigger. Taking a breathe, the Lorax exhaled, "I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues." The sound of a lumber executive falling had no sound.
Lorax gone assassin
The trees can’t be harmed if the Lorax is armed
"Snipin's a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry, 'cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left in the forest, someone is gonna want someone dead."
"I think the onceler saw me."
[A bullet ricochets off the ledge under the Lorax.]
"Yes, yes he did"
Lorax: Feelings? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings? Blokes who chop down trees with an axe.
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. Do that again and I'll break your knees!
I realize we're just being silly here, but I think it's important to point out that it's kind of a misconception that deforestation is caused by logging. It does happen, but not as often as other causes, primarily clearing land for agricultural uses. Source
It also says in that article that if everyone ate a vegetarian diet we could reduce agricultural land use to 1/3 of current usage which would have a much bigger impact than stopping logging.
Yep, the loggers want the forests to keep producing trees
There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
"I speak for the trees. My rifle avenges them."
So um will the Lorax be taking a holiday around Australia and New Zealand sometime soon?
When the trees speak Vietnamese
