The green fad has apparently found it's way into design for children, which makes sense I suppose. The site inhabitots.com is a affiliated with inhabitat and focuses on sustainable design geared for children. Get 'em started while they're young.
The site recently made it's way to the popular page on digg.com with a post about a Lego concept based in a eco-dystopia (link). It makes a lot of sense to start teaching children about sustainability as early as possible. The programs at my elementary school ran about saving the bay definitely made an impact on me. However, it makes you question whether something like the above mentioned toy generates more fantasy then real concern, and how sustainable the toy actually is. At least, Legos are inherently re-usable.
Hope everyone's spring break is off to a good start
