Dear Supporters,<\/p>\n

In order for our expedition to fully succeed we must ensure that it is causes the absolute minimum damage as possible to our planet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is in terms of:<\/p>\n

1. CO2 emissions for fuel, shipping and flights for the entire crew.<\/p>\n

2. Damage to the local environments in terms of road damage, rubbish and pollution.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Utilising green technologies, solar panels, solar showers.<\/p>\n

Michelle Mahoney and team have\u00a0calculated that the\u00a0total CO2 emissions\u00a0on the expedition will equate to\u00a058 tonnes of Carbon. We have sought advice on this and we, as a crew, will pay for trees to be planted to offset our emissions. This equates to approx \u00a335 per person and we will make this donation shortly.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0before we commit can anyone offer us any\u00a0further advice or help with this, or indeed all the points listed above which are very important to us.<\/p>\n

We are desperate to do the right thing, and have done a great deal of research to minimise our “footprint” but we recognise there must be areas we’ve overlooked due to not having the expertise.<\/p>\n

If you can help, please do contact me on the email on mobile number below, and I would be delighted to hear from you.<\/p>\n

In addition if anyone has any contacts in the solar power industry or products please let us know. In particular we are desperately after a universal\u00a0solar powered charger.<\/p>\n
