Granted it is from last year, but still..... (http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=695916)
In a recent series of ads aimed at school children, a leading British energy company has assigned a controversial summer project: police their family's global-warming crimes.
Launched last week by NPower -- the country's fourth-largest provider -- the campaign is part of a larger program to educate children about global warming and the wasteful habits that might exacerbate it.
Fact or fiction?
-
Complete fact.
-
What's so implausible about it?
Didn't they use to assign recycling reports to students as well? How is this any different?
-
Hey, it's perfectly reasonable. Their parents probably won't be around when the ice caps melt and the country floods, we gotta hold them accountable for the disasters while we can.

Sounds a lot like the secret police indoctrinating children to inform on they're parents to me.
Why does the environment need secret police?
-
Because the kids are still gonna be here when the environment goes to **** due to what their parents did, and their parents aren't.

Oh, please. The kids aren't reporting their family to an authority. Clearly the kids are just being told to inform their families about what they learn about being environmentally friendly. There's nothing secret policey about this at all.

Liberator, my...sources...tell me that, well, if you want to live, you need to leave. Now. Don't delay; not for packing, not for friends, not for family. As soon as you read this, flee. Flee the country. Flee for a nation with which we do not have an extradition treaty; Iran would be ideal.
Otherwise, on your own head be the consequences.

'My parents are wasting resources on pointless toys and leisure items!' says Jimmy, before plugging in his I-Pod, pulling out his mobile phone, strapping on his Nike trainers made by child-labour and wandering off down the street....

So very messed up. That Climate Cops thing makes me want to give up recycling.
(Only kidding)

We gotta hold them responsible while we still can. :P

They've been born into a wasteful society, they are just as guilty as their parents of not understanding the balance. If it were suggested that products that waste energy or encourage poverty were banned, then all their toys, clothes and past-times would take a massive hit, and they'd be the first in line complaining about it.
Society has a cake and eat it mentality, and telling kids 'it's all your parents' fault' is not only a terrible bit of scapegoating, but it also encourages young people not to pay attention to their own wasteful activities.

Let us start a new one then
Blame your kids!

A better idea would be to blame ourselves, and stop pointing fingers at other people. In truth, the whole social level of environment awareness is mostly an attempt to make us feel guilty anyway, as one comedian put it, once you've looked at large industries, you'll realise that local recycling is like bringing a dustpan and brush to an Earthquake site.
