Boats use fuel – even sail boats – and that means pollution. So, consider going “Carbon Neutral.” The basic concept is that you calculate the amount of fuel your boat burns and figure out ways to contribute to the environment to compensate for that. For instance, one tank of fuel might equal “X” number of trees.
Several websites make the process easy. A tool helps you calculate the emissions (i.e. www.buycarbon.org has one specifically for boats) and then you compensate for those emissions by making a contribution to a Carbon Offset Project that plants trees, uses renewable energy or captures methane.
