Many people have asked this. Why Project EVIE? Why now? Why have you suddenly taken on this mission?While it’s always been important to me, I’ve reached a place where I understand how much my personal actions affect the planet. I’ve made small changes in my day-to-day life to reduce my carbon footprint.
But as I grow older and have wider eyes turned toward the future, I am more and more convinced that it’s not enough.
Even though I don’t drive, there are so many cars on the road. Transportation is the largest producer of CO2 emissions. Motor gasoline accounts for over half in this sector. And more cars are added every day. So what does that say?
This is the fear most often given by people willing to buy or curious about buying an electric vehicle: It won’t make it. They fear failure. Enter Project EVIE to prove them wrong.
But our mission means much more to me — and to all of us.
I’m excited about the outreach our project will accomplish as we drive through foreign territories. I think we can bring a lot of us closer together. We can help each other understand one another’s cultures and ways of life. Much of humanity’s fear stems from ignorance. I also want to go on this journey to help different cultures understand each other better. Good will and love. It may be a cliché, but I strongly believe that Project EVIE can make one step in this direction.
Again, without leaving a carbon footprint.
The world can be such a wonderful place. Let’s keep it that way — and make it even more beautiful. Join the mission.
