How do you extrapolate your anti foreign goods feelings into other
aspects of your life?


I don't have an anti-foreign-goods feeling, I have an
anti-releasing-carbon-dioxide-into-the-ozone-layer type of one.


To be pedantic the problem is with carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere
(troposphere) wheras the ozone layer is in the stratosphere.

More to the issue dried coir is very light so energy requirements of
transporting will be small. OTOH Draining peat bogs allows them to oxidise
which releases large quantities of carbon dioxide.

An anti-releasing-carbon-dioxide feeling is all to the good - especially
in terms of personal transport - see sig.
