In Nepal, this concept was launched first time by 'We' for Change, on the occasion of 'World Environment Day 2013'.This concept is practiced in Germany by 'youthinkgreen' organization.
“The Green Thread”
By distributing green woolen bracelets to decision makers the message
“Do not lose your green thread ever“is spread. Our goal is to catch the attention of everyone and to give bracelets as a symbols of YOUTHinkgreen movement. This action is also an opportunity for the students to talk to politicians and distribute the catalogue of claims.
At the same time, this action is carried out in all partner countries of YouThinkGreen with national media coverage. The students of each country organize their own “green thread“ actions trying to catch the attention of local politicians. This local action starts on the 4th of June, the International Day of Sustainability.
Mrs. Christiana Figueres, the new patron of YouThinkGreen, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, received a green bracelet during an official act at the Rio+20 summit from partner ambassadors of the YouThinkGreen group in Brasil.
