- The huge postcard was rolled out on the Switzerland's Aletsch Glacier, which is melting.
- It had more than 125,000 individual drawings and messages.
- Organizers hoped to set a world record.
The message: Fight climate change and help the environment.
"They are asking us and their leaders to take action to preserve the planet Earth for them to have a future on it," said Oceane Dayer, founder of Swiss Youth for Climate.
Kids Leave Climate Change Message in Swiss Alps
125,000 drawings come together to send a large message about climate change in the Swiss Alps.
The Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps, and it is melting at an alarming rate. Losing nearly 40 feet of ice a year, the glacier could be gone by the end of the century, experts warn.
Organizers said the 125,000 individual postcards set a Guinness World Record for the "postcard with the most contributions."
However, according to the Associated Press, Guinness said the attempt has not been registered. The current record is only 16,000.
