The Lakefront and "The Lorax"

Nate Hutcheson

How The Lorax could inform and inspire a more hopeful, responsible future for our lakefront, city, and planet. And what will we do about it?

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

As our city and state road building agencies prepare plans for a lakefront speedway, let’s gather and reflect on the lessons from “The Lorax.” This event is for people of all ages who envision a Chicago that can truly thrive without a highway in its front yard.This will be a collaborative gathering to meet others who have higher hopes for Chicago and might want to work together to do something about it. Here’s the agenda:<ul><li>10:00-10:30 Registration and mingle</li><li>10:30- 10:45 Welcome and “Rules”; Land Acknowledgement; Icebreaker</li><li>10:45-11:30 Comparing the lakefront story and “The Lorax” </li><li>11:30- 12:00 Break for the Lake</li><li>12:00-1:00 Working Lunch; Discuss and brainstorm ideas for stopping the Once-ler.</li></ul>The Lakefront and “The Lorax” is being organized by Nate Hutcheson, a participant in The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum’s C3 (<a href="https://naturemuseum.org/programs-events/c3/" title="https://naturemuseum.org/programs-events/c3/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chicago Conservation Corps</a>) Program that empowers participants to plan and lead a sustainability-focused project with access to some funding and other resources.
