For the bit about local, it's worth noting here that the difference is substantially less than one might expect. Transport is a surprisingly small portion of emissions and environmental impact

Thank you for sharing, I wasn't aware the impact of transport was quite so small
I always thought the party of sourcing from local wasn't transport but supporting your local economy and small producers, keeping the money within your city and raising buying power for its citizens.
Most of what I hear from those touting local is about the environment (and usually unaware of the levels of its effects)
