In the meantime, not all of us were really aware of how important it was to turn off the tap while brushing our teeth. Is it time to move from high-sounding statements to small daily gestures to protect our next future?It is very interesting to see how small routine decisions rather than important declaration (“I’ll get up to go
to school” Vs “I’ll become a king one day”) have always protected everyone’s life and motivation. Instead,
as far as environment is concerned, many taps were left open.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220160/image/large-ff7d806e31df8528a504d7166a6daea3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220160">It is time to say again “smaller is better”&nbsp;We will be asked to adopt new habits based on individual/small dimensional scale and attentions:<ul><li>Home power generation (with photovoltaic and micro wind turbines, etc.)</li><li>Strategic attention to water consumption</li><li>Sharing opportunities</li><li>Co-housing</li></ul>Many things could be better sustained with small daily attitudes even in the nautical industry:<ul><li>Boats dimension: Giants Yachts Era has shown how small are the most dreamed spots: the larger the yachts, the less accessible are the beautiful bays (and everyone goes there with a tender!). – In the meantime, new young rich yacht owners are becoming aware about how big enough can be a 40 meters and how more eco friendly a “smaller” yacht can be</li><li>Boat shows: New Yacht owners would like to realise their Yachting Dream in less than one year; whether they intend to buy or charter a yacht, they would like to visit the boats (and decide) not so in advance and not just in only one place in the Med (Montecarlo?). – “Open days” can become a more flexible option where the proximity to an airport or an highway exit and the availability of enough meters of quay can represent the only key factors of success.
