People
GreenUp is a collaboration between many great people. We have a team of special people working part-time but with all their hearts on our mission, some paid and some unpaid. As we are an association, our Board gives direction and works with the team on concrete issues and projects. And last but not least, we have a very dynamic group of volunteers who form the core of the association.
Team

I love being amazed by the beauty of nature over and over again, be it while foraging for mushrooms with my children or when snowboarding in the forests of Davos.

I’m a sustainability aficionada and a minimalist. Life has become less stressful, I have become more productive in my daily life and I’m only surrounded by things that make me happy.

The “GoSimple” challenge is like a journey for me and there is a lot to discover! I am curious to explore all the inspiring ideas and projects for a sustainable lifestyle together with the participants.

I’m a committed environmentalist and I like to contribute to new sustainable initiatives to support biodiversity conservation and climate initiatives. I believe in developping simple solutions to reduce our daily consumption. Creating the world of tomorrow begins with each of our actions. We’re part of the solution.

Manuela Geprägs
“Be the change you wish for this world” a statement I try to live by. I’m actively engaged in different sustainable projects and events in and around Basel. I love upcycling, foodsharing, flea markets and being in nature. Together with GreenUp I would love to spread some seeds into this world to keep it green and alive!

Mehdi Ramezani
Team-Lead Basel
I enjoy nature, and take any chance to bring more of it to our daily lives. With the promise that our future generation have a chance to enjoy their only planet that they have: I promote the vision of “Less is more” and try to send our friendly message to as many people as possible, and persist on this good causes.

The nature is my playground when I ski or hike but is also the space where I like to chill.
I try to do my best to preserve the earth and I like to be part of a community that tries to maintain our world so beautiful.

Renée LaPlante
President
I’m passionate about education, inspiration and collaboration for a net negative and regenerative future. GreenUp brings Switzerland together and shows us all local ways to live lighter and happier with less. This day-to-day embodiment is what will make our future truly sustainable, so that’s why I support GreenUp!

My happy place is in the mountains, high up enjoying the view or swimming in clear, fresh water. These environments are so fragile, and I want future generations to be able to enjoy them as much as I do, which is why I’m working with GreenUP.

We need to change to give our children the best future. That’s why I love to find new ways to do things better and share it with others. Simplicity is the soul of happiness.
