I makes me realize how much we live in a eco-catastrophy:
- Every few days, such a ship lands in Europe and all 122km of goods are dispatched to everyone’s houses (122km is the length of its containers), half of it probably being styrofoam,
- 10-20 years later, all this gear lands in landfills. And we keep piling them up. Transferring so much mass for a century from Australia (ore) to China (transformation) to Europe can’t possibly not change the Earth’s rotation axis, let alone raise the average level if land in Europe ;)
The logistics of 500 million humans are truly staggering. Ecologists want us to save 40% carbon emissions, but that can’t possibly be enough. It feels like we should be 10% as many as we are, plus save 40% ecological footprint per person...
