The winning idea, an Ingenious device to save half pencils thrown away has been put into production to be made available nationwide, winning their school a free PowerPerfector unit.

Princes Rainforest Project

Footprint Friends are delighted to be working with the princes rainforest project and Start London

to raise awareness of the deforestation of the rainforests and their importance in keeping carbon out of the atmosphere.

The Princes Rainforest Project was set up in 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales. The project was set up following reports from leading climate scientists showing how the rainforests absorb nearly one fifth of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. The Princes Rainforest Project's objective is to raise awareness of the vital role the rainforests play in the global climate, and to identify incentives to slow and stop de-forestation.
