Discover the story of the song > Thneedville – the lorax singers

The song is about a fictional city called Thneedville, where everything is made in factories and people buy fresh air from machines because the air is polluted. The citizens of Thneedville seem happy with their lives, enjoying their new cars, houses, and a year-round supply of fun activities like snowboarding and surfing. However, they are unaware of the environmental consequences of their actions and the fact that they live in an artificial world created by a greedy man who sells them things they don't really need.
