Formigine

 

In Formigine, 89 children collected climate-friendly Footprints every day on their way to school this year. The pedibus was accompanied by a team of 41 alternating adults. Over the course of the year they were able to collect 18,245 Green Footprints! With this number of Footprints they would theoretically have made it as far as Santiago de Chile. 

 

With their "Bimbibus" activites, which were implemented in 2009 by the Municipality of Formigine in collaboration with the Agency for the Mobility of Modena (aMo www.amo.mo.it) and local schools, the children walked to school with defined timetable and stops, travelling at any kind of weather.

Every child and every adult wears a high-visibility bib and an identification badge with the logo of the Bimbibus project and his/her own name.








Piacenza

 

In Piacenza this school year 1,682 pupils from 12 schools took part in the campaign. During their action week they collected a total of 26,165 Green Footprints!

 

Some of them "drove" daily with their pedibuses to school and collected "Green Miles" all year round.There are now 21 different pedibus lines on which 337 children take part and thus collect another 15,705 climate miles on the daily way to school. As a special motivation, the pedibus was also accompanied by a jazz band.

 

In addition, an action day was organised, during which 3,429 participants took a walk and were thus able to collect additional miles. With their actions, the children were able to contribute a total of 4,261 "Miglia Verde".

 

The municipality would like to participate in the Climate Mile Campaign again next year in order to influence the habits of the children and their families in a sustainable way and to promote a more climate-friendly lifestyle. 

 

All in all, the "kids on the move" in Piacenza were able to collect 46,131 Green Footprints and make our Footprint counter work even harder to score the overall result! 









Sacile 

 

Throughout the school year, 279 little climate protectors* from 5 different primary schools in Sacile made their way to school by "pedibus". 


The children thus managed to collect a proud 57,195 "Miglia Verdi".
Congratulations to Italy!

"I think the project is good (...) you can do it more often (...) that you do the project every month for a week, because that's very, very great!" - a great feedback from a student in South Tyrol!





Congratulations on the almost 100,000 Green Footprints that are now on their way to Madrid!
