The idea came to seed whilst sitting around the dining table listening to our Shell friend, Thor, debate with the anti-fracking community at Speargrass and hearing about his uncle's adventures driving from Scotland to New Zealand after the Second World War.. We are currently traveling around Australia living with sustainable communities, learning about regenerative ecosocial models in a Mitsubishi Pajero + camper trailer that has consumed 2,400 liters of non renewable fossil fuel and emitted 2,880 kg of CO2 across 12,000 kms. Needless to say, there is something wrong with this picture. So, we are putting together a corrective plan to dump the Pajero for a greener solution. The idea would be to finish our lap around Australia then drive to France in a Solar or Electric vehicle, stopping in farms and communities as we have been doing, and adding the dimension of renewable energy mobility.. Solar would be our solution of choice; free, clean and available (when there is sun)! But electric seems to be a more accessible solution.
Well, this is just a little brain drizzle from our initial research. Can our more knowledgeable and well connected friends please help us make this happen!! If you know anyone in the industry or would be interested in working on this with us, please email : [email protected] / call +61 (0) 415938856. Headline credit to : Olivier Brauen, who called from the US with project planning advise.... (Which reminds me of one of his favorite phrases when we were in Michelin together "Ideas are easy; it's all about EXECUTION!!"
