You Can't Buy GREEN

As you can see my post title includes the word GREEN.  I wonder what the word GREEN means to young school age children.  Does it mean a color of a crayon, the color of their favorite shirt, or the color of money?  From what I have read the color GREEN needs to be changed from a color to a lifestyle.  I feel that it is imperative that we set solid programs in place throughout our school systems to educate children about the need to recycle, and encourage them to challenge their friends to increase the awareness of the need to live "GREEN".
