Accountability is the keystone of change
If the seriousness of Climate Change is now being acknowledged by most, reversing the trend is not an attainable goal if only dealt with on individual levels. The purpose of Greenplease is to take the Green pulse of communities and establish strong local and global platforms where people can organize active social campaigns to (mindfully but uncomprominsingly) pressure Corporations and City Councils to take on the challenge of holding up their businesses while making them green.
- The influence Corporations have on everyone’s consumer habits, and consequently on the planet, is colossal. Above all, they must become advocates of sustainable living and live up to the trust we put in them when choosing their goods.
-
City Councils are the only gouvernement platforms still operated on a human scale and yet, they’re powerful enough to drive change. It’s where green movements can really be initiated and supported.
Turfs are interactive hubs for building 2-way communication bridges between city administrations and their citizens, and between corporations and their patrons. My Turfs are for individuals, Big Turfs for corporations and City Turfs for cities.
Greenplease’s Tools are easy to use and fast to put in action. They are about:
- accountability (Boycotts)
- support (Buycotts)
- commitment (Bans)
- advocacy (Saturday Greenplease Gatherings).
The Turfs & Tools combination is a unique and powerful opportunity for people to take simple actions that, put together, can lead to incredible feats of leverage and persuasion. And, despite the numerous “green social networks” on the Web already, nothing of the like is yet available. With critical environmental issues now globally being among our top priorities, the timing for such a platform is perfect.
All the architecture, functionalities and user experience are now ready to be web-executed and put online.
Note: all the web designs in the video are preliminary mockups. Final designs are still to be created.
A more detailed overview on functionalities and features available here !
With your help we’ll be able to :
-
Set up a temporary office – We are currently all volunteers. To get Greenplease up and running we need to shift from a part-time volunteer status to a full-time workforce for a 3-month period.
-
Hire additional web-programmers and graphic designers – All the web designs shown in this Indiegogo video are preliminary mockups. We need to hire professional graphic designers to work on unique designs and icons that will become Greenplease trademarks.
- Take care of all hosting and maintenance costs for the first 12 months
PLEASE DO NOT WORRY: Greenplease is going ahead !
If the campaign doesn't reach its target, we will still continue to work on the execution, and use the funds accordingly. It will just take a little more time !

The Team

Xavier Bonacorsi - Founder
A background of travelling, (street & campus) studies, and hands in the dirt projects made me develop great respect and appreciation for life, in all its forms.Greenplease was brought forth by this important life guideline, and by the desire to crush this state of inaction in which we have all fallen into, mostly out of a feeling of helplessness.I truly believe in the power of numbers. When huddled around an idea, people can achieve anything.

Friedhelm Filler - Co-founder, Solution Engineer
An early talent for math, people and business startups allowed me to see the world extensively at a very early age.
We have taken from the earth, as if we owned it and there was no tomorrow. Seeing a lot of this unnecessary excessivness made me want my dent in the Universe to be a green one. And a big one !

Peter Myers - Co-founder
After taking part in many of the “usual” societal systems that have been developed in the western world during the past century, I realized that staying on this course can only lead to irreparable consequences.
For the past 10 years, I’ve been involved in local responsible lifestyles and business mindsets. My rule is to live within and use sustainable systems, big and small…
Code of conduct
Greenplease will be fueled and managed by its community. Its administrators will never have personal conclusions or comments posted. While Greenplease is a place for criticism, assertions and claims, a constructive and respectful attitude is nonetheless mandatory. Angry blames or rants & raves are not to be articulated.
PLEASE ---> SPREAD THE WORD !
