This year it would have been possible to reach the UN Climate Conference without the help of others as it will take place in Paris.
The coordinator wrote to us: During the meeting of the community council, the children handed over their posters with the footprints to the new mayor and stated their wishes of improvements in the community. Further information in German on the following website:

Bermaringen
The Protestant kindergarten Bermaringen sent us the following report:
Finally it was time: the collecting of green miles was about to start!
On Monday, 20 April 2015 the polar bear mother explained to her little polar bear boy “Lenni” why his ice floe had broken off: The earth is running a fever. But rescue is on the way: There are great children in a very special town! There the children are convincing their parents, grandparents… that they won’t be brought to and collected from the kindergarten by car for the next two weeks. The cars are making our earth sick.
The children of the kindergarten Bermaringen were so motivated that they swore to the little polar bear boy that also in the future (not only for these two weeks), they would go to kindergarten as many times as possible by foot, bike and scooter, skateboard and rollerblades, etc. everything but not by car.
These green footprints will be handed over in November in Paris during the Climate Conference, hoping that “the politicians will also do something”. (Quote: Preschool child, 6 years old).
On 19 May 2015, our “Smart Mice” handed over the green footprints to Mrs Mayer in the town hall.
The crafted footprints were handed over in a treasure box on which the children wrote: “I wish this for the future of our earth.”
We thank the children of the Environment Working Group of the primary school Bermaringen who supported us in collecting green footprints. As well as to the local representative for her spontaneous promise to welcome us!

Herrenberg
The children of Vogt-Heß-Schule (Herrenberg) had much fun during the action week und were busy collecting green footprints in their miles diary. Altogether they collected 203 green footprints.
Their teacher who managed the project wrote:
“Thank you very much for this great project! It is really a nice idea that this way the children can contribute to climate protection. The children were excited about the possibility to hand over their green footprints to the politicians.”
Pfullingen
From 13 to 19 July 2015, the children from Uhlandschule in Pfullingen were busy collecting green footprints.
During that week, the 220 children from 12 classes were able to collect a total of 2,330 green footprints.
They glued the footprints on a poster of a heavy passed road and in doing so, little by little, covered the cars which were driving there and their exhaust fumes (see pictures and press article).
One of the teachers wrote:
“We had a lot of fun during this campaign and are planning to take part in this every two years.”
