The largest container ship moves over 24 thousand 20-foot containers (TEU) with 34 crew. Sailcargo's Vega Gamleby carries fewer than 4 TEU with 14 crew. I think if you want to make an impact in cargo environmentalism, you need better power sources. I'll admit I've only just seen how much power we're talking about. 12MW to move a large container ship. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we should buy less tat from the other side of the planet.

That ship carries more than a human makes in waste in a lifetime, but not by a huge margin (if you are in a wealthy country). That’s rather depressing. https://datatopics.worldbank.org/what-a-waste/trends_in_solid_waste_management.html https://datatopics.worldbank.org/what-a-waste/trends_in_soli...
