inconvenient youths

I'm looking for parents and kids for an article I'm writing for the Examiner at the moment: It's about what are sometimes called 'inconvenient youths' - ie kids who hassle their parents to do good things for the environment. (Name a play on the Al Gore movie).
If you have one of these, and would like to talk about the various issues, positive and negative, post sth here and I'll get in touch. Or email me on moore.oliver@itsligo.ie
There are a lot of issues - the rights of kids to be a bit autonomous, to protect their planet from our destruction, but then also the limits to being forced into doing stuff you can't necessarily afford. Should animal rights, or foodie or environmental groups target kids to hassle us parents?
Are you in fact one of these ppl who works for an organisation that does this? If so, what's your take?
Questions questions....but post sth here if you are interested in this issue ....
