Greis “Teil vo dr Loesig”

Greis (* 3. April 1978 in Lausanne, bürgerlicher Name Grégoire Vuilleumier) ist ein Schweizer Rapper.

Swiss Hip Hop Artist GREIS took a time-out of nine months to write and record his third solo-album together with swiss superproducer Claud. Travels to New York, Damaskus and Locarno and countless shows from the Montreux Jazz Festival to the Middle East inspired him to write his most mature and musical album. Without any doubt his album „3“ takes Swiss Rap to the next level, mixing up genres and wide musical influences, still never a song loosing its heartfelt message. After having won the Swiss Hip Hop Music Award as „Best Rapper“ for three consecutive years, Greis concluded the following 2010 Nobody Movement Tour by winning the MTV European Music Award as „Best Swiss Act“ and was nominated as „Best European Act“.

Supporters from all across the country joined hip hop legend DJ Biz Markie to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by recording a clean energy remix of his classic song,Just a Friend — and some of our staff couldn’t resist either!

With our planet facing a generational challenge and our leaders falling far short in their response to the urgency of the climate crisis, its easy to succumb to doom and gloom. But each of us came to this movement because of the passion we find in working together to build a sustainable future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

Burkina Faso

newTree operates in Burkina Faso since 2001.Results up to now can be found under news.The trees establish and strengthen a sound basis for the life of about ten thousand people. Moreover, these growing trees absorbe about 140 tons of CO2 a year. Which amounts to the CO2 expelled by 56’000 liters of burned petrol or diesel. The newTree team The Burkina Faso team Our coordinator, Franziska Kaguembega-Muller, is an experienced biologist having spent six years on research and reafforestation in West Africa.Our local team includes a technician in natural resources, two fence technicians and four assistants. A workshop and a small office in Ouagadougou make up our infrastructure, completed by a four wheel drive pick-up to be able to reach isolated villages. Community involvement The newTree team jumps in only when asked for by village communities, and only if the community is fully committed to work  for the reforestation.  newTree provides the iron posts and the wire. Then the villagers manufacture and build the fence under supervision of our technicians. Villagers building a fence Partners Village cooperatives are newTree’s counterparts.  They sign a contract binding them to protect the young forest. And they are encouraged to sustainable exploitation of non-wood products, like grass, honey, fruit or nuts. The protected areas are exposed to various threats: theft of the fence or parts thereof, bush fires, sneaking in of goats or other cattle. In order to prevent any of this to happen, the village has to hire a guard responsible also for the maintenance of the fence.
