Do you have the Felix Factor?
When Felix Finkbeiner was 13 years old, he made a speech
at the United Nations in New York. He spoke in English and h
message was simple - save the world's forests. How did a boy
Germany become "an environmental superstar"?
The story starts in 2007 when Felix did a project on climate
change at his elementary school in Starnberg, near Munich
in Germany. He saw some information online about Wangari
Maathai, a Kenyan woman. She started a tree-planting campaig
in 1977 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. Felix thought
campaign was interesting, and he decided to talk about it in clas
His presentation was a success, and he gave the same
presentation to other classes. Two months later, Felix planted
his first tree and started a campaign to plant a million trees. He
called his campaign “Plant for the Planet."
Students at other schools joined the campaign. Together they
planted 50,000 trees in Germany. They made a website for the
campaign, and soon other countries began taking part. They
wanted to meet Felix, so he started to give presentations outsid
the country. In November 2008, he spoke to the European
Parliament.
At the beginning of 2011, the International Year of Forests,
Felix made his speech at the United Nations. He asked world
leaders to "stop talking - start planting." In the same year,
his campaign reached its goal of planting one million trees in
Germany. He also traveled to Kenya and met Wangari-Maathai.
And it all began with a school project.
