Hello, blog readers! Sharing our latest video clip from the Three Squares Inc. youtube channel.

We recently conducted an eco audit of the Gili Eco Villas located 2 hours (by boat) from Bali, Indonesia.  The owners have really taken major steps to have a minimal impact on the island and also give back to the community. They support the Gili Eco Trust which focuses on Biorock installations – metal structures which channel a low voltage current to create limestone and stimulate corral growth.  The corral has been damaged due to fishing boats dropping anchor and the practice of cyanide or bomb fishing.

“Quantya brings Swiss engineering and style to the electric vehicle marketplace at a time when the world is focused on finding solutions to battle climate change.  We’re thrilled to work with Quantya on capturing a slice of the $14.6 billion U.S. motorcycle market,” says Three Squares President Jaime Nack.

Quantya combines Swiss ingenuity and attention to quality to deliver electric transportation based on lithium polymer battery technology and a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS).  Quantya’s current production line features 3 types of electric motorcycles designed for recreation and street usage.  Quantya’s research and development lab in Switzerland is also testing proprietary technologies on other types of vehicles (electric cars, trucks and ATVs) in order to market Quantya’s components to  electric automobile manufacturers who rely on lithium polymer batteries, like Tesla Motors.   Quantya has received numerous national and international awards for its engineering and design prowess and continues to receive support from the Swiss Office of Energy.

On a recent business trip to D.C., we opted to stay in Dupont Circle at the Hotel Madera (a Kimpton Hotel).  We were pleasantly surprised and impressed by their sustainability practices and wanted to share them with you.
