@frankmiki: The solution for vegetables is to plant your own if you can & if you can't, to buy locally & ORGANIC (ie no pesticides). Being a vegan is certainly more planet- friendly than being a meat eater. Animal agriculture is the NUMBER ONE reason for rainforest destruction, & creatres more greenhouse gasses than cars, (besides being cruel). Wasteful of land, water & steals grain from the hungry. There's every reason to go vegan in terms of benefitting the planet.

Wonderful. Great to see this new ship and it's deckhands.

[iloveblack101]

wow!!

[TheFujimoto420]

It's good to finally see her ready! Wish I could be on board.

No more eating unsustainable fish, A Global superconductor spine based electricity grid using Cyclic energy sources and geothermal, Nanotech battery powered cars.

Soil production relying on nature with permaculture and multi-storey organic farming.

Automated robots everywhere allowing us to cater for nature batter and build sustainably and of course very strict pollutant laws.

Would all combine to make a beauty of a Planet.

[PardusPanthera100]

Great - EXCEPT very disappointed to hear them mention meat on the ship, when one of the best things we can do for the planet in general is to GO VEGAN. It's estimated that animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gasses than transport, and is therefore a major threat to the environment. With all of their excellent campaigns for Earth, why is Greenpeace also promoting veganism? Going vegan is one of the easiest & also one of the best things we can do for Earth & all of her species.

[franmiki]

@PardusPanthera100 You can also think that going vegan isn't completely environmentally friendly, since you will be eating many vegetables that come from big companies that make the planting possible by deforestation. Besides, they may use monoculture, which leaves the soil useless as the minerals used are always the same, leading to an overwork of it. Those plantings may also use products such as pesticides, which are made for a certain plant, but they affect other types of them. Is that okay?

[revron77]

You don't know how much I just want to put my hand on that ship and feel its new life.

@revron77

That's excactly what I did when it was in Amsterdam. I'm totally in love with and in awe of the masts and when I was on board for a tour I just stroked them and and imagined all the forces of nature they will have to endure and I wished them all the luck and succes and strength they can use !!!
