The Birth of Ecofriend World

Ecofriend World was born on board the Celebrity Equinox American cruise ship on 25 April 2016 after Dr. Bremley Lyngdoh had delivered 7 action oriented Beyond the Podium lectures to the passengers on board sharing about the different ecosystem restoration projects that he was working on over the years, while crossing the Atlantic from the US to Spain via Portugal. The final Working Group meeting was held on the Team Earth Deck 7 of the cruise ship with the members of 3 Teams (Water, Energy and Food). There teams were created after the lectures for measuring the CO2 emissions of the cruise ship and the impact of the waste generated by the 3000 passengers on fragile marine ecosystems during the Atlantic crossing. Ecofriend World was created to engage these Green Responsible Cruisers of the Celebrity Equinox to go Beyond the Sea and plant mangrove trees in marine ecosystem restoration projects like in the Thor Heyerdahl Climate Parks started by Dr. Arne Fjortoft, the Secretary General of Worldview International Foundation an NGO has been working with vulnerable coastal communities in the Delta Region of Myanmar since 2012.
