On Earth Day April 22, 2008, Conservation International and Dr. Seuss Enterprises launch The Lorax Project, an innovative initiative to engage individuals & corporations to do their parts to conserve places and species critical to our planet.
In collaboration with this effort, a series of four Earth Friendly Lorax serigraphs will be released to promote this worthwhile endeavor within the fine arts community.

The paper used for each Earth Friendly Lorax serigraph is created at mills meeting four key factors for environmental responsibility.
- Tree-Free
- Chlorine-Free
- Mill Certified
- Alternative Energy
- Additionally, each serigraph is printed using water-based inks (Water-based inks have the permanence and brilliance of oil based inks, without the use of petroleum).
Printed on tree-free Stonehenge paper, all Earth Friendly Lorax prints are made by certified mills running on alternative energy sources while using chlorine-free production processes.
“No trees were cut down to produce this artwork”
Additionally, a contribution will be made to Conservation International through the sale of Lorax prints over the course of this project. Support from The Lorax Project will be used for critical activities needed to conserve important plants and flagship animals around the world.
On behalf of The Lorax Project and Conservation International, we proudly introduce this series of earth friendly prints, to support and encourage the legacy of Dr. Seuss’s visionary book, The Lorax.
