Louis PalmerThe 35-year old Swiss is on a promotional world tour in his solar car,

demonstrating that sustainable technologies are perfectly suited for everyday use,

even to go around the world! “With this tour I want to show that solutions against

global warming are available and that it can be stopped,” he says.He has already

traveled through all continents, by bicycle, ultra light airplane and a car and saw first

hand the devastation wreaked by global warming, from deforestation, floods and mass

evacuations from the Amazon Rainforest area to droughts and famine in Africa and

Afghanistan. Palmer says the many signs of global warming that he came across

disturbed him. “The weather has changed so drastically in almost all the 60 countries

I visited, that people are alarmed. This prompted me to build my solar car, which I

humorously call a ‘solar taxi’ as I take passengers for a ride.”
