Blankenheim
The children from daycare center Bermaringen were busy collecting green footprints. They sent us the following report:
Finally we can start to collect green footprints!
On Monday, 20 April 2015 the polar bear mother explained to her small polar bear child “Lenni” why its ice floe had broken off: The earth is running a temperature.
But there’s rescue on the way: There are great children in a very special town! There, the children convince their parents, grand parents… that they won’t be brought to and collected from kindergarten by car. The cars make our earth sick.
The children of kindergarten Bermaringen were highly motivated that they promised to the polar bear child that in the future (not only for these two weeks), they will go to kindergarten as many times as possible by foot, bike, scooter, skate board and roller blades, but not by car.
These green footprints will be handed over at the Climate Conference in Paris in November and hoping that politicians will finally do something, too”. (Quote: child, 6 years from preschool.
“I wish this for the future of our earth.”
Thanks to our local representative for her spontaneous promise to welcome us!
Team of daycare center Bermaringen.
On 19 May 2015 Ms Mayer will receive the green footprints from our “Schlaumäusen” in the town hall and will carry them to Blaustein. The handmade footprints on which the children drew things, will be handed over in a treasure chest.
Many thanks to the children of the environmental working group of primary school Bermaringen who supported us in collecting green footprints.

They have a simple message:
“Climate Protection is often very easy – you simply have to do it!"
For the 14th time the primary school pupils from Löhne are a good example for their parents: Instead of going to school by mom or dad taxi, they prefer to go to school on their own by foot or bike.
In only 5 days they saved more than 10,759 car rides.
During the 9th Climate Protection Day of Löhne in September 2015, the old mayor Heinz-Dieter Held thanked the children for that.
On 3 December, the birthday of Löhnchen, Climate Alliance Löhne will hand over the well-deserved certificates to the children. And as a thank you everybody will receive a reflector with the inscription: “Walk to school – good for the climate!”
Lotte
“Chuckle alarm” at the childrens daycare center Alt-Lotter Kinderland. The soles of foot of the children were painted green. And this tickles! After that, the little ones walked over two lengths of wallpaper. Their footprints are symbolizing the numerous “green footprints” which they have been walking during the campaign week. Not only the children of Kinderland have left green prints on the wallpapers, they also have collected many “green footprints” points, as they were on the move by foot, scooter, bike and bus instead of by car.

Rheine
Three groups of the family center St. Konrad participated and together collected 345 green footprints.
The team wrote us:
“We had much fun participating in this project. The children were highly motivated
and had been supported well by their parents. Many, who were normally brought
by car, went to kindergarten by bike for the whole week.
Us, the kindergarten teachers, learned more about climate protection with help of
the modules and passed that on to the children in a playful manner.
Also the meaningful pictures and stories of the children from other countries were
very helpful in working with the children.
