Manifesto

We won't just sit back and watch.

uBurn is a Belgian non-profit based in Brussels. We harness the energy of active people around the world to improve the health of the planet. One active calorie at a time.

Our health is tied to the health of our planet. The heat, the smoke, the air we breathe, the water we swim in. When the planet suffers, so do we.

We inspire people to move, not only for their own health but for the Earth's. Through our app on iPhone, Android and the web, every calorie burned during physical activity becomes a micro-donation for climate and environmental organisations.

We believe in collective action. In friends sponsoring friends, colleagues moving together and clubs turning training into impact. Small amounts, multiplied by many people, moving often, add up to something real.

A runner at golden hour

We want to get everyone moving. For themselves, and even more for our Earth.
