ViMove is a public welfare tree-planting initiative #ViMoveForClimate launched by German energy company Viessmann. Its core concept links users' daily activity to environmental reforestation: when users log their exercise data via the ViMove app, Viessmann will plant trees in multiple climate protection projects around the world based on users' total distance and duration of exercise. The carbon sequestration from these trees offsets carbon emissions, while helping improve local ecosystems. According to the project's official disclosure, it has already attracted nearly 8,000 participants from almost 50 countries, and has exceeded its goal of planting over 1 million trees. It also won the 2021 Garmin Health Awards for innovation.
The project supports activity tracking for nearly 30 different types of exercise, ranging from running and cycling to strength training and yoga. Its reforestation projects cover 8 countries around the world, including desert control afforestation in Inner Mongolia (China), native forest restoration in Germany, poverty-alleviation tree planting in Uganda, and more. All projects align with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and some projects even provide additional carbon emission revenue for local farmers, delivering both ecological and social benefits.
The biggest advantage of this project is its innovative concept: it combines personal health with environmental public welfare, lowering the barrier for ordinary users to participate in carbon neutrality. The project is also fully transparent, publicly disclosing details of each initiative and its carbon sequestration calculation method. The downsides are that there is currently no Chinese language support, the website has duplicate content, the participation process is not user-friendly for users based in China, and it is difficult for users to directly track the specific progress of the trees they contributed to.
The website is currently directly accessible, but only offers German and English language options, with no Chinese interface. It is suitable for users who care about environmental public welfare, have an exercise routine, and can use English fluently to participate.
