    First of all, that’s not correct.
    Second: emissions aren’t the only form of pollution.
    Third: the word “shipping”, despite the name, includes air transportation;
    Fourth: assuming, disingenuously of course, that the factors of the local production process are the same as the remote one, NOT shipping is always going to be more environmentally friendly.
