Save the Lorax!

Save the Lorax!: For more than forty years, Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax has been a clarion call for conservation. Generations of children have been moved by its powerful tale of how rampant greed and consumerism destroyed the forest of Truffula Trees and the Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish that depended on them. But now the book’s powerful message is in danger of being crushed by a real-life landslide of corporate greed.

Media Madness: The Impact of Sex, Violence, & Commercial Culture on Adults, Children, and Society

Worried about the effect of Sex, Violence, & Commercial Culture on Children Society. This June workshop might be of interest. It's certainly interesting to know that educators, parents, and activists are concerned about these issues. The event is led by Diane Levin author of So Sexy So Soon. If you can't attend it might be worth taking a look at her book and watch for news after the workshop from CCFC.
