FutureIsClean

Concrete solutions for a clean future

"Not only do we embrace the world of gastronomy, but we are also willing to share you with the worldwide beauty—to take a deep breath of fresh Alpine air and to have a taste of Evian sweet spring—we hope the day when this type of clean future pervasiveness comes true. 我们不仅拥有美食家的情怀，同时我们愿意毫不吝啬地把全球的美与您共同分享——深呼吸一口阿尔卑斯山的纯净空气、品尝一鞠依云小镇的清冽甘泉——愿如此这般美好的清洁未来触手可及的那天不再遥远!"

Tuban is a mobile Internet startup born in Switzerland with eyes on Europe, which is domiciled in Beijing. We are a think tank comprised of energetic young professionals, who are aiming to become pioneers in outbound gastronomy services. The reason why we are supporting #futureisclean is simple—a successful company comes into being by (from the very beginning) actively taking part in projects that boosts human life quality! 途伴是一家由瑞士起航、放眼欧陆、驻扎北京的移动互联网创业公司，更是一个充满活力的青年智囊团，我们立志成为境外餐饮服务业的青年急先锋。支持“清洁未来”的原因很简单——一个成功的企业一定一开始就会积极参与到能提升人类生活质量的行动中来！

The story of #futureisclean

Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg are attempting the first round-the-world solar flight, an adventure to promote the use of clean technologies.

Clean technologies used on the solar aircraft could be used on the ground and reduce 50% of our world’s energy consumption... as of today. But for this, we need political courage and pioneering spirit.

We launched the #futureisclean initiative to create a federation of organizations pushing the replacement of old polluting devices by existing clean technologies.

Bertrand Piccard, Initiator, Chairman and Pilot of Solar Impulse:

This airplane was not built to carry passengers but to carry a message. Flying around the world with no fuel demonstrates that we can reach incredible goals with clean and energy efficient technologies. Let’s use them also on the ground!

André Borschberg, Co-Founder, CEO and Pilot of Solar Impulse:

Solar Impulse has been flying day and night non-stop using renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. In the same way, their use could make our world more energy efficient enabling us to reduce carbon emissions. On a considerable scale. No need to wait for tomorrow as we demonstrated it.'

Kofi Annan, Former Secretary General of the United Nations, Nobel Prize Laureate:

The destructive toll that human activity inflicts on our precious ecosystems is no longer sustainable; prosperity built on destruction is not prosperity at all, but only a temporary reprieve from tragedy. We must instead look ahead and promote, clean, alternative, renewable sources such as solar and wind

MANIFESTO: SOLVING CLIMATE CHANGE
WITH CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES

Join Bertrand Piccard’s approach to show that climate change is not an expensive problem requiring heavy financial and behavioral sacrifices, but rather a unique opportunity for profit and job creation:

Concrete solutions for a Clean Future

Just like onboard Solar Impulse, solutions already exist to reduce energy consumption. We have gathered 357 organizations around this initiative. Some of them sent the solutions they wanted to promote at COP21.

The vote is now over, here are the top 5 solutions you voted for!

Don't ask people to sacrifice their life style, give them efficient energy devices

Instead of always focusing on producing more energy, let's save energy by implementing the most energy efficient devices existing today.

Push the transition to renewable energy resources

The climate is changing faster than at any time in human history, due in large part to the use of fossil fuels. Transitioning rapidly to a future fuelled by renewable energy is the single most effective way to stave off catastrophic climate change. Fortunately this can be done – in fact is already being done in many countries – in a cost-neutral way using technology available today, creating on average more new jobs than those being lost in the waning fossil fuel industries. Renewable energy is good for the climate, good for the economy, and good for business.

Focus on education

Although we have already been able to do great things with solar power, innovative efficiency solutions and global investments, the thing that gives me most confidence is the new generation of committed experts emerging from institutions like the Masdar Institute
