Biovoyager project
March 23, 2007
Biovoyager is a mobile ‘green’ production/ broadcast unit, touring the UK throughout summer 2007 to film the most inspiring stories in the advance to a more sustainable society.
• Schools and Universities: ‘greening’ campuses & the next generation of inventors, activists, leaders
• Business; Social enterprise: lifecycle awareness, sustainable production, design..
• Tech Breakthroughs: Corporate, institutional and Individual research projects
• Campaigners; demonstrations, meetings, festivals and community programs
• Communities: local food networks & currencies, bike/car pools, urban gardens
• NGOs and Charities: current campaigns and development projects
• Government campaigns, initiatives, incentives
• Individual authors, commentators, forecasters, celebrities
Biovoyager will have a weekly segment in BBC World’s New Year series on climate change (reaching 250million viewers!).
And will package material into clips and news themes to provide solutions based stories to TV, cable/satellite, local / community TV and webTV.
As well as into educational content for the expanding ‘sustainability’ curriculum in schools, universities and colleges.
Technology can be defined as ‘the practical application of knowledge’. This project is designed to increase access to and distribution of practical knowledge – in a sustainable way! The Biovoyager is constructed from only recycled or ecological materials, with a veg oil engine and solar PV electrics.
Crewed by 3 young eco-pioneers, you can follow their adventure on line this summer!
