Background
Forum for the Future found that ‘78% of university applicants in 2007 believed that lifestyles need to change across the board, or in many areas, for human civilisation to survive the next 100 years’. This is the voice of young people, describing an endangered future and we need to start listening.
Forums are a great way of capturing opinion and better still social network forums further stimulate debate. Greater communication power is given to the conversation the more it is referenced and this is the aim of Footprint Friends.
Footprint Friends is proud to be supported by organisations and individuals who share our determination to bring the climate change debate to wider audiences and by supporting the voice of young people, share our commitment to protecting the future for the next generations.
With this support we are able to host the social networking element of corporate ECO Competitions and other environmental school programmes so that young people have an opportunity to have their say. Our mission is to continually develop new initiatives to engage with more people.
Footprint Friends is increasingly known for the work we do around engaging young people in eco debate online and is endorsed by DEFRA. Online participant contribution in the VIP 11-18 forum is public and moderated. Unlike other social networks, Footprint Friends is dedicated to environmental debate; this makes us an excellent host partner for ECO Competitions.
Developing a partnership with Footprint Friends can help your organisation:
- Bring longevity to your environmental and sustainability initiatives
- Communicate more broadly the impact you make with your eco schemes
- Improve efficiency with the marketing of subsequent initiatives
- Improve your CSR credentials and raise your profile
