Question

The town in the video stressed using locally made goods instead of imported goods. How could using locally made goods lower CO2 emissions?

Answer 1

The boats, planes, trucks, and other vehicles used to import goods to the town burn fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. Burning fossil fuels adds to the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. If people use locally made goods instead, they can reduce CO2 emissions.

Answer 2

It reduces the need to import goods

Step-by-step explanation:

When you buy locally, the products you buy don't come from far away, so they don't have to cross the country (or the ocean) by boat, plane or trucks to reach the market/store where you're buying, at least not from a long distance away.

The distance a vehicle travels, the less CO2 emissions it produces.

If the good you're buying is made/produced only an hour away, that's not much pollution produced compared as if the good has to come from a distant place spending days on highways to reach you.
