In an effort to cut shipping emissions, agri-giant Cargill will soon test using sails on one of their massive cargo ships

It's an old idea that is new again, shipping by wind.

In an effort to reduce emissions Cargill is attaching sails to one of its 751 foot long ships. If successful such sails could reduce emissions by as much as 30% for ships outfitted in this way.

Let's congratulate Cargill for their trailblazing efforts.
