This study determined the literariness of the film, The Lorax, presented in environment−related sequences with the aid of cinematic elements; the environmental laws and principles violated by the film’s characters based on the issues they caused; the environmental value positions based on the characters’ belief statements; and the research participants’ modes of actions, reflective of their environmental ethics; which were the bases of the researcher in the designing of session guides, showing the greenness of literature and in consolidating inputs for curricular revision. This study gave its lenses on the concepts in teaching literature reflected and shown in selected sequences in the film; pointed out environmental laws and UNCHE principles violated by “The Lorax” characters based on the environmental issues presented in the students’ concepts; identified environmental value positions based on the belief statements of the characters as recalled by the researcher and the research participants; elicited modes of citizen actions as suggested by the research participants, wherefrom the Environmental Ethics for Filipinos of the latter were determined; designed session guides in English Seven (7) showing greenness of literature through “The Lorax”; and devised inputs for curricular revision. The research participants indicated modes of citizen actions which revolve around ecomanagement, consumer action, persuasion, and political; wherefrom their ethical standards were based. These results enabled the researcher to design session guides showing greenness of literature.
