The Race for a Greener Future | Extreme E

Gabriella Gerbasi June 1, 2021

Have you heard of Extreme E yet ?

Extreme E is a radical new racing series which will see E-SUVs compete in the most remote corners of the planet that have been impacted by climate change.    

This five-event global voyage will utilize its sporting platform for the purpose of promoting electrification, environment and equality. The series’ goal is to highlight the impact of climate change in some of the world’s most endangered environments, promote the adoption of electric vehicles to pave the way for a lower carbon future, and provide a world-first gender-equal motorsport platform.   

The first sport to ever be built out of a social purpose, Extreme E aims to minimize environmental impact while maximizing awareness, racing in places that have already been damaged or affected by climate change or human interference and taking fans deep into the heart of the most pressing issues facing our planet’s future.   

Not only that, but Extreme E is also helping the car industry to develop future-facing technology using racing as a platform for road innovation, which accelerates change ten-fold.

Every June 16th, we celebrate World Sea Turtle Day—a special day to raise awareness and appreciation for one of the ocean’s oldest and most remarkable creatures. Sea turtles have roamed the seas for over 100 million years, surviving natural predators, climate shifts, and geological changes. But today, these ancient mariners face unprecedented threats from human activity.

Every June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day — a global reminder that the ocean is not just a place, but a life source. Covering over 70% of our planet, the ocean gives us every second breath we take, regulates our climate, and holds an entire universe of biodiversity beneath the surface.

There’s nothing like giving back to the ocean that gives us so much.

No matter where you live, we are all connected to the ocean in some way. Even if you’re far from the coast, the actions we take on land—such as reducing plastic use, conserving water, and supporting ocean conservation efforts—directly impact the health of our seas. Every bit counts, and it’s up to all of us to make a difference. 🌊

Happy World Wildlife Day 2025: Investing in People and Planet
Mar 3, 2025

As someone deeply connected to the ocean, World Wildlife Day has special meaning for me. Over the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to have some of the most incredible encounters with marine animals—humpback whales breaching in the distance, manta rays gracefully gliding past me, sharks weaving through coral, and vibrant ecosystems teeming with life. Each of these experiences has strengthened my connection to the ocean and deepened my commitment to protecting the creatures that call it home.

Honeymoon Adventures in Fiji and Christmas in Australia
Jan 2, 2025

Our honeymoon in Fiji was nothing short of incredible. We flew halfway across the world for the elusive dogtooth tuna, but what we found was so much more than we imagined. Pristine waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an ocean full of life both above and below the surface. We dove Rainbow Reef and saw some of the most beautiful reefs I’ve ever experienced—so much life on the bommies, it was a truly magical underwater world. 🐠
