Freightened: The Real Price of Shipping

Not that I am the least bit surprised because the industry, any industry, is and was always about money. Maximizing profits and stock market value. And politicians all over the world are turning a blind eye. They are, on the contrary, trying to put blame on the little men when it comes to pollution and the big money always comes out scot free. But the problem lies also with us, the consumer. And I am using the term -us- very generally because I know not everyone is the same. Do we need a new TV, a new car, a new phone every couple of years just because the commercials tell us? New clothes because someone dictates what is in or out ? Just some examples. I am the first to admit that I, too, make mistakes when comes to environmetal issues. But I am using up my stuff until it is broken and give a rat´s **** about fashion. There will be a day when the price will be paid.
