"I am glad that you are now among thousands of children from Europe who have started their ecological adventure, gather "green footprints" and care about the environment. It is very important for us that you already now join in ecologically friendly lifestyle and make steps to do your home city greener and better". Sergei Leichenko.

Since then, 1.7 million children from 39 countries have participated, more than 185,000 last year alone. Together over the years, they have collected over 22 million "Green Footprints".

Dear presidents!
I am Antonina Konovalova, 2-grader from School No6 in Polotsk, Belarus, and I am asking you to keep the air pure, because me, my family and my friends and my future children will breathe it. Please, plant as many parks as possible in our country, and we promise to take care of them.
