The Green Impact
It always amazes me that the people who are trying to make an impact on Global Warming etc don’t put more energy into buying things locally rather then importing? Maybe they do and I just missed it. There are many groups and websites like this one urging people to buy American made products for many reasons. I would think another good reason is a smaller carbon foot print right? How can an imported product not have a huge carbon foot print? They are made in factories where in most cases there are not laws regarding emissions, the electricty used is made by burning coal, the cargo ships that transport the products here are not running on bio diesel fuel last I looked?
So yet another great reason to buy American Made Products! Buying American reduces your carbon foot print and keeps your job at home! At least the way that I see it and that’s all that counts in my house.
