Brainwashing

I admit it, I am brainwashing--greenwashing--my kids. We were at the grocery store (major chain) on Saturday and there was not a reusable bag in sight. I prompted my 6 year old to look at the number of plastic bags being used. She jumped in immediately and knew the bags were made from oil, a non-renewable resource from the earth, and that one day it will all be gone...And then I mentioned that the bags are not recyclable and just end up filling up the dumps. :) How could I not?
