wind powered cargoships : they did it !

In case you still think that reviving wind-powered cargoships and sailing cocoa beans across the atlantic, in order to provide the european market with low carbon footprint & organic chocolate, is some kind of retrograde utopia, then, you might want to check out the CMTV website

making a public commitment to a sustainable economic development project, CTMV has created a fleet of sail-driven merchant ships to transport wine and products from France to Ireland.

Puravida Boat Journey

With the intention of exploring a new way of traveling and ways of reducing the ecological footprint, but increasing the sense of adventure, PURAVIDA is currently working on manifesting a sailing boat that will take members and volunteers between the UK and Brazil, with a stop off in Africa.  It is an exploration into eco friendly ways of transporting both people and goods while at the same time establishing beneficial exchanges between eco projects with a similar vision. We are currently working on links with various projects in Africa. Watch this space for updates on the boat adventure.
