OT Do you care were the products you buy are made

[Ruatha]

I try to buy as much local as possible, mostly food from the local region, vegetables and meat and such, hard to buy local bananas and oranges in Sweden though!

If clothes and stuff are made in Sweden, the scandinavia, balticum , europe or africa I try to choose those first, in that order, mainly as to minimize transports but also other reasons.

I have nothing against goods made in USA/Canada/China/India or wherever.

Somehow I tend to mentally kind of prefer the nordic culture, diverse as it is (Scandinavia, parts of Russia and Canada), this sometimes influences me when I buy stuff, but not often.

(Edit: Rextorres > I try to buy stuff from third world countries if I have the choice ,and if am feeling more political than enviromental that day!. )

And when it comes to wine I prefer german wine, becouse of the taste, but I buy good french wine too.
