I think people devalue the benefits of working in the public sector. Quite obviously the earning potential is much smaller, however it provides a much greater work/life balance, added job security with a relatively decent income.
I'm sure the awareness it generates won't stop those 'environmentally conscious' individuals from turning on their air conditioning or driving their 4WD every other day of the year..
