"Green Ferries For Blue Highways"
The Aussies are yet again doing something right in terms of ecologically friendly transportation with what should become a common sight in the Sydney harbor, The Solar Sailor ferry. These boats use a combination of both wind and solar power to transport commuters across busy waterways in ecologically style.
Designed by Robert Dane, the Solar Sailor is influenced the the evolution and motion of the insects. By having positionable solar panels that also act as sails the Solar Sailor reduces its emissions by half compared to other ferries.
Just another example of Eco-Friendly travel we should all embrace.
