German Activist Michael Walther Embarks on Historic Atlantic Paddleboard Journey for Climate Awareness
Michael Walther, a German environmental activist and adventurer, has embarked on a remarkable journey across the Atlantic. The Kiel native set off from Portugal on a stand-up paddleboard, aiming to cover approximately 6,000 km to reach French Guiana. His mission: to raise awareness for climate protection and promote sustainability. Vilsa, a supportive partner, is documenting his progress and sharing updates daily.
Walther is completely self-sufficient during this three-month expedition. His six-meter offshore board serves as his transportation, sleeping quarters, and storage. He is traveling on a specially designed board that can withstand the challenges of the open ocean. Vilsa, under the guiding principle 'Protecting Tomorrow Today', is regularly publishing reports, images, and video material on an action website to keep followers updated. Daily updates are also shared on Vilsa's social media channels.
Walther's journey is a continuation of his long-standing involvement in climate change protection efforts. His previous project, Zero Emissions, focused on raising awareness about human-caused climate change. Now, he aims to inspire action and communicate the importance of sustainability through his historic Atlantic crossing.
Michael Walther's Atlantic crossing on a stand-up paddleboard is more than just a daring feat; it's a call to action for climate protection. With Vilsa's support, his journey is raising awareness and promoting sustainability. As he continues his three-month expedition, updates on his progress can be found on Vilsa's action website and social media channels.
