There is so much international shipping of consumer goods that the entire shipping fleet is the 5th largest source of pollution on the planet. It outranks most nation states. From here you could address the wage issues that cause this amount of shipping to occur in the first place. You could make the fleet more efficient and use newer technologies and fuels that pollute less. You could simply incorporate the cost of that pollution into the "cheap" consumer products so conveyed through one of any of a dozen means. You could do all of these at once. So, my point would be, where is the prioritization here? It seems like corporate profits come first, then environmentalism entirely at the consumers expense comes next, mostly to make the corporations feel better about their blood money. And.. I'm supposed to be on board with this because of "sustainability?" I'm on board. The issues do actually need to be addressed. I don't believe we are currently doing that in any meaningful way.
