Pitch

Do you live in a house? Does it require energy? Do you need to buy food? Is any of it sustainably sourced?

Onto addressing the immediate issue: Declining environmental systems and public health from on-the-grid living causes people to feel stuck and stressed in their everyday lives.

Introducing the ‘Algae Powered Aquaponic Recreational Truck’ or APART for short. It’s a revolutionary self-sufficient recreational truck designed for eco-conscious, sustainability enthusiasts who seek to live off-the-grid comfortably and without negative environmental impacts. This innovative vehicle features an integrated aquaponics system that creates a continuous supply of fresh, healthy food through a symbiotic ecosystem of fish and plants. Beds of algae on the roof produce biofuels, powering both the aquaponics system and all onboard appliances, ensuring sub-zero emissions and a fully sustainable lifestyle.

Why choose APART over traditional RV living? Well, RVs typically run on gasoline or on-grid electricity, both of which contribute to CO2 emissions. Beyond energy use, the need to source and transport food adds further to your carbon footprint. The use of algae and aquaponics in APART bypasses these disadvantages and only leaves behind the benefits of the RT (recreational truck) lifestyle. But if you want to stay home, don’t worry. APART can be plugged right into your house, functioning as a clean alternative source of power.

We promise that together, these vehicles will bring together a thriving community of caring and sustainability-centered individuals, benefitting physical as well as mental health.

This innovative vehicle features an integrated aquaponics system that creates a continuous supply of fresh, healthy food through a symbiotic ecosystem of fish and plants.

Why choose APART over traditional van living? These vehicles typically run on gasoline or electricity, both of which are major sources of CO2 emissions, responsible for around 18% of global carbon output. Beyond energy use, the need to source and transport food adds further to your carbon footprint. The use of algae and aquaponics in APART bypasses these disadvantages and only leaves behind the benefits of RT (recreational truck) lifestyle.
