Honda is offering one lucky Guardian reader the chance to win a three night stay in an eco-cottage in Cornwall this week.
The prize is being offered to celebrate the car maker’s hydrogen-fuelled FCX Clarity which it brings to the UK for the first time.
A zero emission car, the Clarity uses fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen fuel into electricity to power the car. The only emission from the tailpipe is water, yet the car benefits from a driving range and refuelling time similar to an ordinary combustion car. The result of 20 years of research and development, the prototype FCX Clarity is currently being trialled in the US.
To celebrate the innovation of the FCX Clarity and the future of motoring, the car maker is offering you the chance to win an eco-break to Cornwall plus free entry in the Eden Project. Based in the sleepy hamlet of Tregarne in the Lizard Peninsula, Hen House is eco-hideaway where you’ll enjoy all the contemporary comforts plus stunning views. The package for two adults also include mountain bike hire for the duration of your stay, one day’s entrance to the Eden Project and three nights self catering in the private cottage.
Honda will also purchase an acre of rainforest in the winner’s name. This will protect wild habitat and all its wildlife.
To enter the competition, all you need to do is visit the following page on The Guardian website and simply answer the hydrogen-related question:
