There's hope yet.
My son, at age two, knows the difference between the green bin, the recycling bin, and the garbage. When he picks things up from the floor -- an errant pea, forgotten Cheerio, scrap of coloured paper -- he immediately goes to the cupboard under the sink to throw things out in the green bin. Mind you, he's not perfect. I've been known to fish out pieces of plastic from the green bin, deposited there by an overzealous toddler, I'm sure, but the point is that for the most part, my son understands that not everything goes in the garbage.
We have a long way to go yet, but teaching environmental awareness at an early age is a step in the right direction.
