Protecting the planet

« In nature, only species that live in harmony with their environment survive. » Hubert Reeves

Plundering the natural resources

Due to our current patterns of production and consumption our natural resources are over-exploited and our survival depends on destroyed ecosystems.

Environmental pollution

Due to the piling up of our increasingly toxic waste, the air quality, water and soil are subjected to a steady deterioration that turns nature into an open-air landfill site.

Global warming

Due to human activities, each year new temperatures break records and therefore multiply extreme climatic incidents with ever-increasing damages.

Biodiversity devastation

Due to destruction of natural habitats, demographic pressure and intensive farming practices, the 6th largest mass animal extinction since the dinosaurs had occurred.

Circular economy

Understanding that everything produced, consumed and disposed is part of a cycle in which all waste is first reused, then potentially converted or recycled to avoid being buried or incinerated.

‘The polluter pays’ principle

To include in the price of all market activities, health, social and environmental costs and the payment of the carbon tax by all stakeholders.

Reduction of Greenhouse gases emissions (GHG)

Drastically reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, main contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in transportation, agriculture, housing and manufacturing.

Biodiversity Protection

To move away from the ‘nature/culture’ dualism that makes us alien to the biosphere and to foster organic links with all living ecosystems in order to switch from anthropocentrism to biocentrism.

Talmont Saint Hilaire / France
I built the multi-hybrid aeroplane of the future
Eraole is the pioneer of a new form of aviation which is environmentally-friendly. Its design and performance make it an exceptional machine. Its traction is provided by two electric motors and a multi-hybrid power station that produces electricity on board the aircraft with renewable and clean energies. Its energy sources are solar energy (25%) via photovoltaic cells that cover the wings, vegetable oil (70%) to power a heat engine, and hydrogen produced in flight by hydrolysis. Not to mention the excellent smoothness of the aircraft. This drive chain makes it possible to carry out long-haul flights in complete safety. In the event of a failure of one of the traction chain systems, the aircraft can continue its flight in reduced speed mode and land safely, unlike a single-engine airplane where the failure requires an emergency landing. In 2018, Eraole completed a Tour de France: 1,200 km and 1 hour 30 minutes of flight. In 2019, it had a record endurance and altitude, with a flight of 10 hours at 9,200 feet. In 2020, Eraole will attempt to cross the Mediterranean in the footsteps of Roland Garros. In 2021, it will be crossing the Atlantic in the footsteps of Charles Lindbergh, going from New York to Paris entirely in electric flight mode.

A Villa to preserve the planet without leaving your nest

The etymology of the word ‘ecology’ comes from two Greek words ‘Oikos’ house and ‘Logos’ science. What could be more symbolic than applying the precepts of ecology at home?
This is the focus of this living space whose building materials, as well as items and products used in everyday life, will be selected in order to respect as much as possible the balance of natural ecosystems.
