IT IS THE INVISIBLE FORCE SHAPING YOUR WORLD
Think the t-shirt you're wearing just magically appeared in the store? That fresh fruit in the dead of winter? Chances are, they've traveled farther than you have this year.
Global shipping is the lifeblood of our modern economy, yet we rarely think about the vast, polluting network of ships that make our consumer lifestyles possible. But ignoring it won't make it go away.
This book is your wake-up call. Uncover:
- The eye-popping environmental cost of your online shopping habit.
- Why your desire for cheap goods may hurt workers on the other side of the world.
- Mind-blowing innovations that could transform shipping from a polluter to a sustainability leader.
- How your choices – yes, YOURS – can make a difference.
