Try as you might, sometimes that just does not work. -)

I remember teachers pushing the green line back in the 1990s, but never saw one walking, cycling, or taking the bus to school. One moved to a house on the back side of the school playing field, but kept driving her car the long way around the school yard and parking, rather than walking or cycling along the raised Macadamised path from the back of the school yard to the school.

They kept pushing the "children will convince their parents to be green" line. I made a point of walking our children to school when I was home. They whined. When I told them it was better for the environment they told me that they didn't care about the environment and wanted to take the car. 

Sure, kids will teach their parents to be green.
