What kind of world do we want our kids to inherit? In a recent ad - TopicsExpress



          

What kind of world do we want our kids to inherit? In a recent ad by Toys R Us, a real group of disadvantaged kids are put on a bus for a fictional Meet the Trees Foundation field trip. The bus ride seems purposely boring, until the leader announces that they are actually going on a shopping spree in Toys R Us. This not only makes a total mockery of environmental education, but sends the message that kids, particularly those from underprivileged communities, should value consumerism over education and connecting with the natural world.
