New technology is making it easier than ever for young people to take up campaigning. One campaigner working with Battlefront is Aimee Nathan, 17, from London, who will soon have been campaigning for six months. Aimee is trying to stop people using disposable coffee cups. These are non- recyclable due to their plastic covering, so they end up in landfill sites.
Aimee worked out that if just 1,000 people bring their own mugs with them when they buy coffee, by the end of a year, one coffee shop will have saved 5.5 tonnes of waste and 125 trees. Highlights of her campaign included appearing on TV and getting a crowd of people, including a famous model, to take their own mugs to a coffee shop. Aimee's Facebook page played a big part in publicising the event.
Another Battlefront campaigner, Manpreet Darroch, 19, from Birmingham, became aware of the importance of road safety when several people he knew were killed or injured in road accidents. He was shocked to discover that traffic accidents are the biggest cause of death for 15-19-year-olds worldwide: about 7,000 people under 25 will have lost their lives on the road by the end of next week.
Manpreet decided to focus his campaign on the danger of crossing the street while listening to an MP3 player. He has used Twitter in his campaign, spoken at political meetings and made a video for the Battlefront website. He is now hoping to work with musicians to make his message go viral!
