one of the most eco-friendly boats ever made

There are many eco-freindly elements to earthrace.  The Following are just some examples:

• Earthrace runs sustainably produced B100 biodiesel ( + more )
• Parts of Earthrace are made from hemp composite, a world first for boats
• The antifoul is a new non-toxic type (most are heavy metal or iso-cyanate  based)
• Lubricants are made from vegetable oils
• Bedding foams are made from canola oil
• Bilge water is pumped through special filters to remove any oil or hydrocarbon
• Recycled ice cream containers were used during construction
• MDF board used during construction were reused by local schools
• The crew eat organic foods and local foods wherever possible
• The entire project is run as carbon neutral, by calculating CO2 emissions and purchasing carbon credits to balance this
• Our waste is generally recycled
• crew clothes are mostly made from hemp and bamboo

Our philosophy is that it is not just about running the right fuel, or the type of car you drive, it is about all the things you do...and by thinking a little about it, and taking small steps in the right direction,  you can make a big difference.   But this shouldn't stop you from doing fantastic, exciting and amazing things in your life.
