After the Lorax sends them off, he also complains to the Once-ler about his machinery making a goo by-product called 'Gluppity Glup' and 'Shloppity Shlop,' and how it is being dumped into the ponds where the Humming-Fish live, leaving them unable to hum and forcing the Lorax to send them away too.

To save them, the Lorax sends them off to find another food source. The Once-ler does not listen and continues to cut down trees to create Thneeds to sell.Īs the Once-ler's small shop grows into a factory and new equipment is being made to keep up with the demand for more Thneeds, signs of damage to the Truffula Forest become evident to the Lorax. He receives a warning about destroying the forest for his greedy plans.
