Listen Later

People are taking steps big and small to move the dial on climate change. This week, in Here & Now's Reverse Course series, senior editor Peter O’Dowd and producer Chris Bentley take listeners across the country for a closer look at projects designed to make an impact.

This episode looks at shipping goods by sea on large container ships, which creates about 3% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions each year. In pursuit of a cleaner alternative, some companies are using wind power to move cargo.
