I feel like that requires some explanation. I’d say emissions are higher for cheap products, especially food.
- monadic2 6y agoErr are you neglecting beef?
- Semaphor 6y agoAt least where I am (Germany), the cheapest beef is from further away and the local beef is more expensive.
- monadic2 6y agoSure, but presumably they’re both more expensive than fresh produce, which has a fraction of the carbon emissions. Furthermore I really doubt that the carbon emissions of transportation dominate the carbon output of beef production, so the local vs imported beef cost seems irrelevant to the overall correlation of price and carbon output.
