We wouldn't be able to do it without you.
Greenheart does not intended to act alone. We will bring our new ship design and operations ideas into a wide field of organizations and agencies that are already active and expert in the fields of Appropriate Development, Sustainable Transport, and Fair Trade. In fact, our success depends on the cooperation of these groups. There is a small but growing number of organizations pursuing goals very similar to ours: clean and fair marine transport.
