We too believe it is important for everyone to do their part. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullet_check\">\n<li>We serve Earth Water on board, which has allowed us to completely replace plastic PET bottles ( one of the biggest surface water polluters ). Within our assortment you will find this Dutch mineral water in an innovative cardboard packaging. The packaging is made from 100% renewable resources and is the most sustainable packaging. With the proceeds of sales, several water projects are financed.   <\/li>\n<li>In our office, the toilets are equipped with water-saving toilet cisterns. The user can pause the flush button and control how much water is needed to flush properly. This water stop saves an average of 50% water.  <\/li>\n<li>We strive to work digitally as much as possible and print out as little as possible. Our administration is now 90% digitized. We ask our customers to preferably have the reservation confirmation available digitally (smartphone) on the sailing day.  <\/li>\n<li>With us on board you drink from a glass, this has allowed us to replace the plastic cups.<\/li>\n<li>We have continued with the greening of our fleet. We have now replaced the first tour boat with a diesel engine for a new tour boat with electric propulsion. We are also investigating the possibilities of having only the engines replaced and a battery pack installed for a number of boats in order to save the environment even more.  <\/li>\n<li>We have started a study to run our passenger vessels on blue diesel. Blue diesel is made from waste vegetable oils, which are renewable resources. A nice development and between solution we find ourselves. The use of blue diesel reduces waste, is biodegradable, low-emission, fossil free and CO2 neutral.   <\/li>\n<li>We work together with local companies. Think of a pastry from the Utrecht pastry shop Theo Blom or Bakkerij Wammes, a wine from the local winery and snacks from our caterer and also neighbor on the Oudegracht. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/vareninutrecht.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto-producten-tetra-450x350px.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sailing in Utrecht&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Earth Water &#8211; Sailing in Utrecht&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-2px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_filterable_portfolio posts_number=&#8221;6&#8243; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#454545&#8243; title_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_filterable_portfolio][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sailing in Utrecht strives to be increasingly sustainable Nowadays, sustainability within our environment is unthinkable.
