Die Geschichte
Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, Dear Family members, Dear Business partners,
A few years ago, a challenge among cyclists was born - "Everesting". The concept of Everesting is simple: Pick any hill/mountain, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity (no sleep until completed) until you climb 8,848m – the equivalent height of Mount Everest. (https://everesting.cc/the-rules/)
As this challenge will take many hours to complete and should, for logistical purposes, ideally fit into a single day, careful planning (nutrition, pace, rest etc.) has gone into it in order to hopefully complete the challenge alive :-). As proof of completion, the challenge will be recorded on a Garmin device and uploaded to the popular Strava fitness tracking app.
As a passionate cyclist and bike-to-work commuter, the bike has become my favorite means of transportation, replacing the car or train many years ago, saving CO2 emissions along the way (my daily commute saves approx. 1 ton of CO2 p.a. vs. using a non-electric car according to conventional calculations).
To up the game of further reducing CO2 emissions, I have come across this UBS Optimus Foundation campaign/project to protect peatlands.
The challenge shall take place on Sunday 24 October 2021, weather permitting (no heavy rain, alternatively it will be moved by 1-2 weeks).
Looking forward to ANY contributions to the UBS Philanthropy Foundation campaign to ease the suffering of climbing Mount Everest (just follow the donation links)!
Das Projekt
Verdoppelung Ihrer Spende: Renaturierung Schweizer Moorlandschaften
Moore sind ein wichtiger CO2-Speicher und ein Ort hoher Biodiversität. Sie binden grosse Mengen an Wasser, was sie zu einem wirkungsvollen Schutz vor Überflutungen macht. Alarmierend, dass zwei Drittel der mehr als 500 heimischen Moorlandschaften heute
zu trocken sind, um ihre vielfältigen Aufgaben wahrzunehmen.
myclimate finanziert die kostenintensive Renaturierung dieser Moore und leistet damit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur CO2-Reduktion sowie zum Erhalt einzigartiger Naturlandschaften.
