• The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. It’s important to note that this story, as simple and straight forward as it is, provides for us at CSR, Inc a couple of very powerful truths. First, we are the “Oncler” as a society. Second, we are the “Lorax” as a community inside of that society. Simply we, the “humanity, Oncler’s”, are the only beings that set forth a value for creatures, landscapes, habitats and all other items in or on the planet earth. Because we take the liberty to set the values it’s up to us, the “Lorax” of society, to establish value for the things the “Onclers” have overlooked from their perches and towers, or missed in their vigor to establish value for things that are easier to see, feel and experience. Please read this children’s book and experience your surroundings in a way that lets YOU place a different “value” on items that seem distant or difficult to understand. Accept the world the way a child does and learn from the humility that comes from acknowledging you are not the one that sets forth the values you have been taught to cherish, but are merely reacting to the teachings of society. Don’t be a “Oncler”.

• A Sand County Almanac is a 1949 non-fiction book written by American ecologist and environmentalist, Aldo Leopold. Describing the land around Leopold’s home in Sauk County, Wisconsin and his thoughts on developing a “land ethic,” it was edited and published by his son, Luna, a year after Leopold’s death from a heart attack. The collection of essays is considered to be a landmark book in the American conservation movement.
