20 years Green Footprints - Join in!: Results > Results 2025 > Luxembourg
| Green Footprints Edition 2025 , Together for a Sustainable Future
As part of the Europe-wide campaign aimed at promoting environmental awareness and sustainable mobility in everyday life, numerous municipalities in Luxembourg are once again actively participating in 2025. A wide range of educational institutions from crèches and daycare centres to primary schools are joining forces to contribute to climate protection through creative and meaningful actions.
In total 2,226 children aged 0 to 12 from 23 different educational institutions were taking part in the "Green Footprints / Gréng Meilen" campaign this year. Out of these 1046 children collected or reported footprints for two weeks. A total of over 60,000 Green Footprints were collected during this time. |
Heartfelt thank you goes out to all the children, parents, educators, teachers, and municipalities for their outstanding commitment.

MERSCH
In the municipality of Mersch, 220 students from Krounebierg School also took on the role of "traffic detectives," observing and investigating road safety and mobility in their surroundings. This makes the average of 25 Green Footprints by each child.
The goal of the Traffic Detectives activity is to encourage children to observe and assess how safe their daily routes are, whether they are walking to school, to sports activities, playgrounds, shopping areas, or anywhere else in their community.
They check if their surroundings are pedestrian-friendly:
- Are there enough traffic signs or zebra crossings?
- Are the sidewalks clear or blocked by parked cars?
- Are there other obstacles that make walking difficult or unsafe?
Based on their observations, the children can then share their findings with their local municipalities and suggest improvements that would help make walking safer and more accessible for everyone.
In case anyone is interested in this activity you can find relevant forms and questionnaires in the Materials section on the website.
SANEM

- You should install more solar panels – thank you.
