"Get GreenLaces on and show the world we can all make a difference!"
Why Athletes?
Athletes are everybody
They are young and old, rich and poor and in every corner of the globe. Athletics is an established global unifier that bridges cultural differences and captures the heart of the human spirit. GreenLaces leverages this existing community to take on one of the biggest challenges of our generation - climate change.
Athletes are icons
It is time we go
beyond advertising our sponsors and start advocating our values.
- Natalie Spilger Founder, GreenLaces
Athletes are role models and their iconic presence can be leveraged to inspire people on an international scale, especially youth.
Athletes need a healthy planet
An athlete’s performance is greatly impacted by environmental factors such as air, water quality, weather and the nutritional quality of food.
