Recycling? It started with the kids. "Only you can prevent forest fires?" Kids. "Give a hoot, dont pollute?" Yep. Kids once again. Marketing experts learned long ago that children are probably the most powerful motivating force in influencing a parents purchasing decision. Dont believe us? Just ask Disney. But corporate strategies aside, educating children as a means to affect social change is a powerful and dramatic force in our lives. That is likely because it is the child who generally has no preconceived biases towards a particular point of view. They simply arent as stuck in their ways as the rest of us adults are.

Teach them not to smoke in the third grade - and they are 71 percent more likely to not smoke in college. Once kids "get it," they have an astounding impact on their parents.
