Has anyone else noticed the unusually-high level of indoctrination that goes on regarding recycling/environmentalism in schools? I remember spending countless hours in school as a small child being taught to "heal the world" and "green something" or other. Or cartoons: "Captain Planet" anyone? There were large concerts that were held place at the schools I attended, talking about the topic, singalongs, etc. And then there were the huge "scary number" scenarios: "If each person in the world, turned off X for Y time every time they did B, then we would have saved X,000,000,000 million somethings of C". I'll leave the discussion of pro/cons regarding recycling et al aside. I am a tad bit disturbed at how intensely I was bombarded as a child to believe in these things. I exaggerate a little in my examples, but these things existed and happened to me, as an innocent blank-slate child.
