Yeah but if I'm not mistaken, emissions from shipping are quite low anyways. It's something like 2-5℅ of all our emissions, so it's pretty low priority.

Idk man 5% sure sounds a hell of a lot better than 0%

Yeah but my point was moreso that there are more important things to focus on that are probably easier to do. I mean, reducing shipping by just the fact you don't need to ship oil anymore is pretty nice, it's free reduced emissions, I'm just saying that it's not that big of a deal. It is a nice plus however.

all freight traffic is a pretty significant dent, i think the net total for all of transport is something like 15-20% of total emissions, so.
