Christiaan De Beukelaer
“In externalising the social and environmental cost of shipping to the high seas, the shipping industry mirrors the collective action problem that is the climate change to which it contributes. Every country wants to connect its economy across the oceans, but few feel responsible for the social and environmental impacts of shipping, or indeed climate change.”
Christiaan De Beukelaer, Trade Winds: A Voyage to a Sustainable Future for Shipping

Ken Breniman
“When public spaces are privatized, loneliness and isolation grow.”
Ken Breniman, Subversive Acts of Humanity : A Survival Guide for Choosing Evolution over Self-Destruction
