"Climate change is a huge problem we face today. But I like to see it as an opportunity to change things as they are." - Raphaël Domjan
Some time ago, circumnavigating the world was a huge undertaking and a great adventure. Today it is no longer a feat. But if you do it on a ship, it becomes more adventurous. If you are now on a ship, which is only powered by solar energy, you come very close to the adventures of past times. Our guest today in this episode has done just that. The PlanetSolar project was born from a crazy idea. From 2010 to 2012 on a catamaran with more than 500 square meters of solar panels on the roof, Raphaël Domjan has travelled around the world starting from Monaco.
With the PlanetSolar project, his current SolarStratos project and a number of other projects, Raphaël wants to show what is possible with solar energy. He has made it his life's work to promote renewable energies and especially solar energy as far as possible. I think it needs pioneers like Raphaël Domjan, who believe in something so strongly and put ideas into practice. This is really very inspiring and I hope that this conversation will encourage some people to do exactly what he or she believes in.
In this episode Raphaël talks about his adventures and his current project SolarStratos. It was really very interesting to hear what he is doing and what his plans for the future are. I highly recommend to have a look at the links in the show notes to get a deeper picture of his projects.
Thanks for listening and hear you next time,
Niklas

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
