Bring your recycled sail from your kite board to the store as your grocery bag! They are beautiful and durable and can be used again.

This article will tell you more about Kitecycle.  Thanks to the efforts of Lydia Snider and her new company Kitecycle, you will be able to help reduce the amount of plastics in our ocean by replacing disposable bags with durable ones made out of products headed for the dumpster: old kites.

Ferries looking into Sails.  (article) – A local start-up from Napa, Wind+Wing Technologies, is proposing this energy saving idea. They are not just spitting into the wind, they have run a successful business venture saling charters in the Bay  for 18 years. They know this area.  What a great idea!

Solar Sailor out of Austrailia is also full of fuel ideas, using solar panels.

Just FYI – WindWing in Hood River Oregon looks like a great group to, but they are not working on the energy saving ferries!

Porsche, are you kidding? Well this is good news, so I’ll believe it, a hybrid sportscar.
