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.

Propelled by the same wind of changes, SKYSAILS are fitting huge kites onto conventional cargoships…

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.
