What are parents these days doing to teach their kids about the health/environmental costs of overconsumption?

I'm wondering because the costs of our buying habits these days will probably be much more serious in our kids' lives after we're long gone (more toxins, more health problems, job losses due to fewer natural resources, etc.).What are parents these days doing to teach their kids about the health/environmental costs of overconsumption?It has to start in the home. If you show a good example by living and explaning this to your child(ren), then you have done all you can. Unfortunately some people don't care, and you can't change them. Here in California, I think the schools have been bringing environmental issues up, such a recycling, and conservation. They teach the young ones early, so that way they can bring these lessons home. Unfortunatly, even though they and we know better, we don't always practice it with everything we do. The best way we can start is by recycling, and here in California, we have a lot of recycling bins everywhere we go.What are parents these days doing to teach their kids about the health/environmental costs of overconsumption?Are you teaching your kids about it? Being as though my child is only yr old, and she really wouldn't understand what I was talking about, no I don't.
