Imagine a world where taking a simple walk with friends and family can help plant trees, recycle old phones, and bring communities together. That’s exactly what Regreenity is aiming for with PlanetHike, a global event set to make a massive positive impact on our environment.
Introducing Regreenity and PlanetHike
Regreenity is on a mission to create real change by tackling some of the most pressing environmental challenges we face today. Their ambitious “3×10 Initiative” focuses on three main goals:
- Planting 10 Million Trees: Trees are vital for absorbing CO₂, restoring ecosystems, and providing habitats for wildlife.
- Recycling 10 Million Old Phones: Reducing e-waste by recycling phones helps conserve resources and minimize environmental harm.
- Organizing PlanetHike: A 10 km community-driven walk happening in cities worldwide, encouraging people to enjoy the outdoors and support sustainability.
Set to launch in 2025, PlanetHike isn’t just another walkathon—it’s a global movement bringing people together for a healthier, greener world. Participants can look forward to a memorable day filled with fun, community spirit, and the satisfaction of making a real difference.

We had the privilege of interviewing Tichi. Here are excerpts from the interview.
Hi Tichi, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share about yourself with our readers.
Hello, I’m the founder of Regreenity, an environmental initiative with a mission to create positive change through impactful community action. Regreenity focuses on three main goals: planting 10 million trees, recycling 10 million old phones, and bringing people together through our annual 10 km PlanetHike events. After years in corporate roles at companies like PIMCO and Ford, I’m now dedicating my experience and passion to something bigger—building a greener, more sustainable future for us all.
Please tell us about your work.
My work at Regreenity is driven by a simple yet ambitious vision: to inspire individuals and communities to take small actions that add up to a massive impact. Regreenity’s “3×10 Initiative” represents our commitment to tackling some of today’s most pressing environmental challenges—deforestation, e-waste, and the need for community-based solutions. Through PlanetHike, we invite people to come together in their cities, reconnect with nature, and raise awareness about our planet’s health in a fun and impactful way. By planting trees and recycling, we’re not only fighting climate change but also fostering a movement of people who care deeply about the world we share.
Please share your journey with our readers.
My journey to founding Regreenity started years ago when I co-founded Nahow e.V., a non-profit dedicated to improving education and infrastructure in my hometown. We focused on building schools, enhancing sanitation, providing solar lights to reduce fossil fuel use, and setting up a vocational center to empower local youth. While working in these communities, I saw the detrimental effects of environmental destruction firsthand—deforestation, pollution, and the severe impact on health. It became clear to me that true community empowerment requires a healthy, sustainable environment. This realization led me to create Regreenity, combining my corporate experience and passion for environmental protection to make a meaningful difference on a larger scale.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
Several key strategies have been crucial in my journey:
• Community Focus: Placing the community at the center of everything we do has helped Regreenity grow as a movement. PlanetHike, for instance, is designed to bring people together in a way that’s enjoyable yet meaningful, creating lasting connections between participants and our mission.
• Collaborative Partnerships: Building partnerships with organizations, influencers, and sponsors who share our vision has been essential to expanding our reach. Through these collaborations, we’re able to amplify our message and achieve goals that wouldn’t be possible on our own.
• Transparency and Accountability: People need to trust that their efforts and contributions are making a difference. By being transparent about our goals, impact, and challenges, Regreenity builds genuine connections with supporters and backers who want to see tangible results.
• Data-Driven Approach: Leveraging data to measure our progress, refine our strategies, and share updates with our community helps keep our mission focused and effective.
Any message for our readers?
If there’s one message I’d love to share, it’s this: small steps lead to big changes. Every tree planted, every phone recycled, every PlanetHike event organized—each action contributes to a healthier planet and a brighter future. I invite you to join us in this journey by supporting Regreenity’s mission. Whether it’s participating in PlanetHike, donating, or simply spreading the word, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can regreen our world, one small step at a time.
Thank you so much, Tichi, for giving us your precious time! We wish you all the best for your journey ahead!
