Yeah, we really should swap out all those trucks crossing the Atlantic with cargo ships.

Oh absolutely. But why not make them even more efficient?

My company makes sustainable packaging, and the primary way we compete as a sustainable bag product for our food grade division is eliminating the CO2 costs associated with shipping overseas (most reusable grocery bags are made in China).

As a result, it takes around 600 of our paper bags to be as bad for the environment as one reusable bag.

While overseas shipping is necessary and as efficient as it can be (so far!), it is still a major greenhouse factor (so far!)

Also everything that touches a container ship ends up on a truck at some point, so there's not really any savings there.

Fingers crossed for the Golden Age of Sail Part 2: Wind Boogaloo, even if it hurts our bag division a bit. The net gain is too good to ignore

Yeah but in the future Arasaka is going to lay a ton of AI controlled mines all over the ocean and lose control of them and ocean travel will be impossible. Oh wait, that’s just a ttrpg and a video game. A corporation would never do something like that in today’s world…

So nice of Magnus to put aside his chess career to help the planet

What an extremely cool thing to learn! And the gifs on the article are very helpful

I think of this scene:

A fellow paper enjoyer!

Hold onto those papers!

The article claims up to 90% reduction in emissions

Many do not. Few bridges cross major harbor entrances.

But I've also seen this concept before. The sails retract. If you look closely you can see how they're segmented.

Certainly not this one
