The Center for Post Carbon Logistics (C4PCL) has met its fundraising goal for the Erik Andrus Sustainability Fellowship, and has appointed Brad Vogel as the Andrus Sustainable Logistics Fellow, serving the Schooner Apollonia, America’s only sustainable sail freight vessel, operating on the Hudson River and in New York Harbor.
Vogel has been at the forefront of developing an alternate green logistics framework in the New York region since 2019, and he will now work full time on the sustainable shipping and logistics front, starting in June.
The Erik Andrus Sustainable Regional Logistics Fellowship is a project of The Center for Post Carbon Logistics. The position is named for Erik Andrus, the rice farmer who created the Vermont Sail Freight vessel Ceres, and inspired many regional “make-sustainability-real” efforts.
In the first year, the Fellow will serve the Schooner Apollonia in expanding and strengthening the logistical backbone of its sustainable sail freight network of distribution, storage, transport, and fulfillment services, while also providing support to a select group of regional low/no carbon first- and last-mile logistics companies, producers, purveyors, wholesalers, retailers, and end users.
Over the past three years, Apollonia has shipped over a hundred thousand pounds of goods by wind, reducing regional emissions. C4PCL says Apollonia has made something clear: “Taking action to build toward a more sustainable post-carbon approach to logistics is possible in our region. Even if the initial steps are small, we need to act.”
