Dutch multitalent Wubbe Ockels, physicist, astronaut, pilot and professor can add a new profession to his endless list. Since 16 July, Ockels is the proud captain of the Ecolution, the first boat that realizes sustainability.
The driving force for life on board of the smooth shaped silver boat is simply wind power. Huge propellers drive the generators while the sails catch the endless wind force. One simple boat trip generates enough energy for 10 days of comfortable living on board!
GreenGraffiti had a peep at this revolutionary piece of art while visiting Sail Amsterdam. Of course, as many times before, we combined play with a little bit of work and added a little bit of sustainability to the Sail event ourselves.
To lead visitors to the Nuon booth to become Co2 OK, we sprayed environmentally friendly chalk graffiti’s around the area. This is an addition to the reverse graffiti technique we mostly use, since this technique isn’t applicable to every surface.
When the boats sailed their way to the horizon again, including the lovely Ecolution, we sprayed our messages away.
Ecolution, hope to see you, and perhaps a little family, in 5 years!
