| Publisher Description: When you think of vehicles and pollution, you probably think of cars and trucks. You may not think much about how leisure time on the water could be contaminating the planet, but your boat could be doing just that. Luckily, your boat and your boating adventures can be made more environmentally friendly with a little bit of time and effort. As Greening Your Boat shows, you can protect our waters and shores with a few easy steps. Author Ben van Drimmelen provides tips to cruise our oceans, lakes, and rivers with the environment top of mind. The changes you can make to your boat and your actions are simple and need not be expensive; they are mostly about making better choices and being aware of how what you do impacts the environment. This book offers affordable, practical advice to boat owners on best practices for keeping a more sustainable and environmentally efficient vessel. From choosing the best kind of fuel; handling waste management, recycling, and composting on board; picking the most environmentally friendly paints and cleaners; and thinking about how you can make a difference when you re on land or by educating fellow boaters, the entire planet will benefit when you make one or all of the changes outlined in this book. Greening Your Boat guides new and experienced boaters alike on how to maintain a stronger standard of eco-friendliness on the water." |
