I met Martin Vosseler in New York after he walked from Los Angeles to Boston in 7 1/2 months to mobilize the people about solar energy. A former doctor in Switzerland he felt a duty to inspire others and stopped his academic career. A year ago he crossed the Atlantic with a solar boat together with 4 other active scientists and adventurers. He proved that with the energy a hairdryer or a iron needs, you can run a whole boat with two electric motors — all the technical and kitchen equipment only with the energy of the available sunlight. After our interview he went back to Europe, but not by plane but on board a freightliner from Miami to Italy. He said he prefers not to use an airplane unless absolutely necessary. In his interview he reveals all about his econimical and spiritual approach to life. Enjoy this episode of LIFE Voices!
