Dystopian and post apocalyptic novels have become popular amongst all age groups; but are the books just harmless entertaining literature, or are they warnings of the future? Many forms of media have covered the idea of a utopia ripped to shreds and brought down to an anti utopia; books, movies, and television shows all have had some form of dystopian feel. Even children movies, the Lorax and Wall E, dance around anti utopian themes.

The admission of greenhouse gases are at an all time high, due to the faith humans hold in cars, all of these unrenewable gases are eating away at the ozone and speeding up the process of climate change. This along with the extensive harvesting of lumber have made the air harder to breath; more carbon dioxide and less oxygen is being produced. The Dr Seuss book, and movie, The Lorax warns against the ghastly effects of deforestation.
