Joan Ruddock MP, Minister for Climate Change, Biodiversity and Waste, said:
"It is really important that people of all ages are aware of the
dangers of climate change and are encouraged to reduce their carbon
footprints. This is why I am especially pleased to see how well www.footprintfriends.com
is progressing. It is inspiring to see young people from all over the
world exchanging ideas and views on how we can combat the threat of
climate change.
I am also delighted that our nine new Climate Change Champions are
being hosted on the site. This will enable the Champions to talk about
their experiences with like-minded young people, and add value to their
campaigning efforts."
