In seeing the Trufulla trees’ potential value in being a natural resource for his brand’s products, it becomes a victim to industrialisation and consumerism. In being “entirely spent by humanity” (Sloane, 420), nature embodied by the Trufulla trees then loses its value as it withers, dies, and falls into near extinction.

To make space for the growth of such plants, land has to be cleared, and thus the tropical rainforests are being sacrificed for the planting of such plants.
