A lot of the food you buy is shipped halfway around the world, and yet transportation still only accounts for around 3% of the total emissions from the product. It’s less for items that doesn’t need cooling, so it is thoughtful, but not relevant to take into consideration.
My organization recently funded a project, that clearly showed that hemp was the most sustainable choice, based on both emissions, pesticide, energy and water use etc.

This is the sort of thing I struggle with. Usually for me it’s wool. Is it more ethical to but something made from petrochemicals or an eco alternative (bamboo or hemp or something) that’s been shipped halfway around the world.
