“Funny how nobody talks on the tubes, isn't it? I rarely catch the tube myself, or lifts. Confined spaces, everybody shuts down. Why is that? Perhaps we think everybody on the tube is a potential psychopath or a drunk,so we close down and pretend to read a book or something.”
John Hannah

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
