3g per 1 US ton of goods 1km

If 1 US ton = 907185g, and 1 t-shirt weighs 170g, how many shirts can be
transported by ship for 1km?_____________________________________

If 5336 t-shirts traveled 6,806km, how much CO2 would be emitted? If 1 shirt
traveled that far, how much would be emitted? _______________________

Challenge question:

Take into consideration your t-shirt trail map and estimate how much
transportation is by truck. Work out how much truck travel might be factored into
the total distance, and calculate the emissions accordingly (47g per truck km)
