I think that there may be some "milk-toast" attempts out there, probably from EPA. But they almost certainly wouldn't have the required blood and gore required to capture the kids' attention. I have noticed that the message is in some of the cartoons that my grandson wallows in but it's a stretch. What a concept!

Make another game - the player is on top of a glacier and the bad guy is trying to shoot him off and the player has to get off the glacier either before the bad guy shoots and kills him or the glacier melts - and it's melting very fast. And yet another one in a car city of 30 million people in which the player has to get out before he chokes to death on pollution. Maybe these lost kids might get the message and take it to the "outside" world. I'm leaving now for a walk in the woods. Happy Easter.

Sounds like an interesting book. Coming up, my friends and I couldn't stay out of the woods. It was a means of escape and a small taste of independence for that age. This was important because it was back in the Adam Walsh days, and the media had everyone paranoid that there was a legion of kidnappers waiting on the streets. So, it was a required pastime. As I got older, I kinda saw it as some kind of natural mechanism to find appeal in nature. Do you think that this appreciation is something that can be ultimately taught in class?
