Tthis our family site about our life on a solar powered eco widebeam boat. After our daugher was born in 2012 we naturally started thinking about the future, about a timescale beyond our own lifetimes. We became more aware of the petrol and diesel we were burning in our cars, the gas we burned every time we turned on the hot water, and the impact what we were eating was having on our planet. It didn't happen overnight, but living a sustainable life went from an apiration to a fundamental principle. We wanted to live free of fossil fuels, using renewable energy sources wherever we could, as efficiently as we could, producing minimal waste and eating sustainable food.
