The Most Famous Shipping Container in the World

The venerable BBC has just begun an experiment to track a shipping container as receives and delivers goods around the world for a year.



Globally, shipping containers come in a certain number of standard sizes so that they can fit equally on trucks, trains, boats and planes.  The British broadcaster hopes to visit the container as it makes various stops around the world in order to tell the individual stories interlinked by this single transportation item.

You can track the BBC Box here.  You can bet that I look forward to calculating the carbon footprint of this trip.
