The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, chronicles the plight of nature against the greedy Once-ler, as the Lorax, who speaks for the "trees", tries to show the Once-ler the potential danger in his ways. While I don't claim to "speak" for anyone, I "speak" nonetheless. I have learned that the Lorax and the Once-ler reside in me..... and you, the reader, are eavesdropping on that conversation.
