Human-induced climate change

It is common knowledge that the rapid warming of our planet is caused by industrialization and our fossil fuel-dependent way of life. It is also known that global warming will have serious consequences for our lives and the lives of future generations.

However, it is difficult to imagine a life in which we can live without a car, without regular air travel, without daily meat consumption, with less consumption in general, etc. Our economic system and our way of life are based on a constant more. It scares us to get involved in something that deviates from this.

We prefer to close our eyes to the consequences of our lifestyle as predicted by scientists.

It is easier for us to cling to the hope that everything will not be so bad than to embrace something new that brings many opportunities with it and promises a significantly better quality of life. Only when we have experienced this new quality of life, the new lifestyle, and we experience this way of life as desirable, are we ready for the change. Then we have the certainty that it is good for us and we know that we no longer want to do without it, even if it means less consumption.

However, the overall effect is almost as a side effect that we emit fewer greenhouse gases, consume less nature and enable more biodiversity.

Stopping climate change

In addition to the politicians who create the framework conditions and legal regulations, we see ourselves as part of civil society with a responsibility to actively contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Our ships have the technology to be operated in a climate-neutral way.

Save Planet Liners is committed to the principle of "Less is More". This means that we treat our planet's resources with care.

In the planning stage, this involves scrutinizing every consumer on the ship and asking ourselves whether they contribute to the quality of our passengers' stay, or whether they are just there because we are used to every cabin having a television, for example.

Where possible, wind and sun will contribute significantly to the energy required for propulsion and hotel operations. An energy management system will help us to enjoy an energy-efficient journey with Save Planet Liners with a clear conscience.
