Troll,
I agree with the principles of what you say entirely, and to some extent with what you say about the practicalities and costs. The real difficulty is not that it is very expensive (it needn't be), but in getting people who don't have to spend the money to spend any at all.
On the other hand, when you get an enlightened developer or other client, you might get them approaching you to propose some outreach work. We recently had an experience of this sort with Skanska on a highway construction project; they were dead keen, and rather than us persuading them they came up with the idea themselves. In that case, it involved a public/schools open day, a mini-exhibition and an educational leaflet.
