Founding Story

My Tree-Athlete Mission

I am Flix and my mission is to live with nature rather than just living from its resources. Therefore, I pursue a “give and take” relationship with the natural environment and try to keep my ecological footprint as minimal as possible. For this reason I developed the idea of a Tree-Athlete lifestyle which allows me to make an active contribution to a healthy environment without putting any burdens on me. This lifestyle is derived from a regular triathlon. A Tree-Athlon has 3 disciplines as well (why these 3 disciplines?):

  1. Low impact transportation
  2. Active and sustainable lifestyle
  3. Planting trees

As in a regular triathlon, you can make up for your shortcomings in the first two disciplines with a good effort in the third discipline. A good Tree-Athlete, however, is particularly good in all 3 disciplines.

With this lifestyle I don’t want to point my finger at others and generally judge driving, flying, consuming animal products, etc. – because nobody is perfect – but everyone can do their best. Therefore, with the Tree Athlete idea, I want to show that everyone can lead a fulfilling life without leaving a negative ecological footprint.

In order to achieve this goal – to be a good Tree-Athlete – I decided to link running with a contribution to the environment. I donate a tree for every 100km I run. I do not only do something good, but I also have the wonderful feeling of being able to give something back to nature.

Do good. Feel good. Be a Tree-Athlete.

Give back to Nature

Was uns unterscheidet?

Du willst genau wissen, was mit deiner Spende passiert?

Bei uns kannst du selbst aktiv werden und deine gespendeten Bäume mit deinen eigenen Händen pflanzen.

Tree-Athlete ist mehr als eine von vielen Baumpflanzorganisationen. Uns bewegt es im Alltag, immer den nächsten Schritt zu gehen, der unseren ökologischen Fußabdruck reduziert und uns zusätzlich Lebensfreude bringt. 

Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich unserer Tree-Athlete Bewegung anzuschließen und mit Freude und Energie gemeinsam der Natur etwas zurückzugeben.
