What happens when climate action meets everyday life?
The Treellions Campaign, led by LeadingSpace, set out to answer a simple but important question: what happens when climate action meets everyday life?
Instead of taking tree planting to forests and farms alone, Treellions brought it into the middle of Nairobi’s daily movement. Fuel stations. Busy roads. Ordinary moments. Five-minute conversations that quietly shift how people see their role in protecting the planet.
Over the course of this pilot campaign, LeadingSpace donated approximately 1,000 tree seedlings, primarily indigenous and fruit trees, to everyday Nairobians who chose to step forward as climate champions. Each seedling came with a simple commitment: plant it, care for it, monitor its growth, and let it live.
This was not a mass planting event. It was a series of human exchanges. A pause in the noise of the city. A conversation about trees, climate, responsibility, and the future we are all shaping, whether we realise it or not.
There is something powerful about handing someone a living thing and saying, “Hii ni yako… take care of it.” People pause. They listen differently. They begin to see themselves not as distant observers of climate change, but as active participants in the solution.
Treellions is built on the belief that climate action does not always need grand stages or long lectures. Sometimes, it begins with trust, ownership, and a seedling placed in the right hands.
The Nairobi edition of Treellions was intentionally designed as a pilot. A test of concept. A learning phase. What we witnessed confirmed a core insight: people are willing to act for the environment when the invitation feels personal, practical, and human.
Treellions is not only about trees. It is about culture. About normalising environmental responsibility in everyday spaces. About transforming ordinary citizens into long-term stewards of climate and nature.
Nairobi was the starting point. The vision reaches far beyond.
