A thick layer of haze is restricting your view over the city you live in. And you know it’s not a funky instagram filter. It’s smog. It’s deadly.

Air pollution comes in different forms, both visible and invisible. And it’s responsible for millions of deaths each year.

More than 5.5 million people worldwide are dying prematurely every year as a result of air pollution, according to new research
bbc.com

It’s been the cause of several health problems as varied as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and weight gain. And a recent study even linked air pollution to kidney diseases.

To be fair, when you think of breathing in that big layer of smog, you know it’s going to do something harmful. Taking a quick drive from your home to the woods outside of town — the first thing you do is take a deep nice breath of fresh air.

And it’s kind of ridiculous, isn’t it, that we do not have the ability to breath fresh air on a daily basis, whenever we want — exposing ourselves to chronic and deadly diseases on a daily basis?

So, we knew something had to change something. And that’s why we decided to develop Treepex! A revolutionary pocket-device, which transforms polluted air into clean, fresh oxygen. This means that from now on, you can breath fresh air, wherever you are, wherever you go, whenever you want!

And this is how it works:

Treepex uses CRISPR technology to extract the DNA of actual trees to recreate living cells that are responsible for photosynthesis and compress them into the cartridge. When you take a look at a leaf with a microscope you can see the cells which are responsible for the photosynthesis. And that’s only a very, very little part of the entire leaf. Simply, think about this as if thousands of leaves were squeeze into the small cartridge.

Basically, you will have a supply of fresh air always on hand!

The device is easy to use, portable, and handy. Just imagine taking your bike to work, but instead of inhaling all the exhaust of cars, you can breath fresh air! Or, what if you live in one of the most polluted cities? Just use Treepex when you walk down the street without any worry you may kill yourself by simply breathing.

It is particularly designed to be a part of your daily life.

Air pollution is one of the biggest threats to mankind in the twenty first century and Treepex’ technological innovation will solve this threat in a simple, yet remarkable way. And it has some great features many great features: a mobile app which calculates how much oxygen you inhale daily and which measures polluted air in the environment you live in, a wireless charger for more comfort, and anti-allergenic materials!

But Treepex is not only a perfect solution to protect yourself from polluted air on a daily basis, it can also be a lifesaver in the case of massive future wars forcing us to live in underground shelters: at least we’ll be able to breath fresh air with Treepex.

More excitingly, our mission to live on Mars — and Elon Musk’s Space X program, just became a bit closer to reality with our portable oxygen devices!

Join our journey towards a more exciting, safe and healthy future with Treepex!
