Environmental Health in Pop Media and Literature
[edit]Original works like Dr. Seuss' The Lorax allow the incorporation of environmental literacy into our education. Directors have taken steps further and directed the children's book into an award-winning movie - making an easier approach to grab younger audiences' attention.[1] Similar to advertisements, these movies showcased a good deal of educational material for environmental health and sustainability while sneaking in topics children can relate such as friendship, family, humor, and more. [2]
Environmental health has become relevant in our pop culture with movies like The Lorax (inspired by Dr. Seuss': The Lorax original book), WALL-E, Free Willy, Happy Feet, and Hoot that highlight the need for the well-being of the environment. The following movies allow younger generations to understand environmental health and the importance of sustainability through the lens of a more digestible perspective. [1]
