SolarTaxi completes 32,245 kms and still going.
Louis Palmer and his team started on a drive around the world in their solar powered taxi on July 1st 2007. As of July 2nd 2008, they have completed 32,245 kms with six months still to go. Pictured here, the solar taxi participates in a Canada Day Parade in Vancouver.
Per Louis:
“On 3 July 2007 I set off on my first journey around the world with a solar powered vehicle. Admittedly, as a regular citizen I cannot change the world but I can demonstrate to the world just how dire the global climate situation has become and how many sophisticated solutions to lower the greenhouse gases already exist, which bring with them many other advantages. So that we can have a better world and a more secure future. The solar taxi should rekindle hope and a zest for life, set an example to counteract resignation and stimulate reflection. And show that every single one of us can take a step towards preserving our planet.”
