Billy Litmer is the captain and builder of the world’s first solar powered boat used for Dolphin Eco Tours. Billy says he takes guests deep in the light blue waters of Key West on the dolphin watching tours to help them understand and interact with wildlife from “a curious yet courteous proximity.” In creating his eco touring company, Billy‘s goal was to guarantee an unforgettable experience and because of his love for the environment, he wanted to be as eco conscious as possible. As the owner of a company called Honest Eco, he needed to work with a partner company that aligned with his mission of sustainability. Sunflare’s solar panels were a big part of that solution. They are light solar modules and have the smallest carbon footprint of any solar company in the world. Honest Eco and Sunflare is an example of a partnership that we hope will inspire others to think of the beauty we risk if we don’t take climate change seriously. Let’s create a wave of responsibility. Check out Captain Billy’s boat powered by the sun and some incredible dolphins.

Two architects re-purposing a 100 person marine survival lifeboat; Stødig, into a self sufficient expedition home to travel 3500km from the UK to the Norwegian Arctic in 2019. Architects Guylee Simmonds and David Schnabel bought a marine survival lifeboat in February 2018 and after a year long conversion are on their way to Norway. Along with Shackleton, Guylee's dog, they are travelling from the UK to Tromsø, far north in the Norwegian Fjords. Situated north, Tromsø is the largest city in the Arctic Circle and having arrived, the lifeboat will spend the winter there, making smaller coastal excursions. The aim of this expedition is to explore this wild and isolated landscape, demonstrate the ability of design innovation to facilitate self sufficiency in such extreme environments and to document and share the adventure through photography and film. The voyage began in May 2019, departing the southern British port of Newhaven. The route skirted the Belgian and Dutch coast, passing the Kiel canal in Germany into the Baltic. Passing up the Danish then Swedish coast past Copenhagen and Gothenburg, before crossing the Skagerrak south of the lower tip of Norway up to Bergen. The lifeboat followed the route of the famous Hurtigruten ferry, passed up the fjords and ended in Tromsø. Sunflare is honored and inspired to be a part of the Stødig expedition.
