Paint your feet for climate change

footprint friends.jpgIt seems there's a week for everything, including one for footpainting. Supporting the initiative is eco-kids website, FootprintFriends.com , which is calling on young people to get more involved with environmental issues by painting their feet.

It wants to send one million feet to Copenhagen and is inviting youngsters to upload photos of their painted feet for use in a 'book of dreams' creative project.This will be presented to world leaders at the upcoming climate change conference in the Danish capital.

Karen Ford, founder of Footprint Friends, says that children should be encouraged to engage with green issues:

"Our campaign looks to engage young people in a fun but memorable way, helping to make them aware of the world around us," she said. National Foot Painting Week is running across the UK from October 5th to 9th.
