Excellent point, and providing more info is often to the detriment of many sellers/producers. That excellent point aside, I did want to say that international shipping is a much smaller contribute to CO2 emissions than road freight, so a simple toggle is probably not going to cut the mustard, and goods from China are not necessarily that much worse for the environment than goods transported from one side of the US to another. The biggest problem with most goods produced these days is the disposable nature of them.
