If you want environmentally friendly, you want solar.  Get a hundred  of your 
best kayaking buddies to gather on the water around you and your  boat.  Each 
of your buddies is holding a large but light-weight mirror  which they use to 
focus the sunlight on you, the person of honor, until you  and your boat are 
completely incinerated.  I know this would work because I  saw it on 
Mythbusters!  Coming up with a good kayak formation that  optimizes the energy at the 
focal point I will leave as an exercise for the  physicists in the audience.
