I am looking for ideas on what products should be produced locally. Not things that your area can do sn awesome job at and export. Rather things that should be locally produced near everyone.
Feel free to define “locally” as you wish. I am thinking with 5 miles, but with 200 is also good.
Please include your reasoning. Everything from shipping costs, to ownership “punch-ability” are great.
I will kick things off in the comments.
Of course, but even still, those areas are usually ex-natural forests, so the more paper that can be reclaiming via recycling, the less demand for clearing the natural forests. And its probably less energy intensive to recycle than to start from scratch.
I had no idea. Thank you.
