Last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a screening of "Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax" before it hit theaters.

The showing, sponsored by NEA and Mocha Moms, brought hundreds of DC kids to view the movie and learn an important message about the environment. One of the reasons why I like the Lorax book so much is because it’s about each of us can improve the environment around us.

I used to think that saving the environment was something that didn’t have a lot to do with me. To me, the earth that I walked on and biked on and drove on seemed just fine.
