As a parent, I know how smart kids are and that my kids don't do anything I simply "tell" them to do yet they will respect me and follow my lead when I can explain to them why I'm doing what I'm doing. This goes to basic level of human psychology which asks, What's in it for me? Although the country is waking up to the idea that making green choices is what is best for us all, bad habits die hard and are only changed through constant reinforcement of both the ideas and the example. Kudos to the Dems for walking the walk.
