'locals' means ingredients are >50% extracted and manufactured within 1000km from where the product is manufactured.

This puts pressure on makers to get things from nearby - I have chatted with many 'local green' businesses who get their glass jars or other pieces from China just because no one asked or thought it was important...

So! Someone in Canada could use eco-locals.com to find coffee in Columbia - if it met the requirements in Columbia.

The hope is that people would use the service to find a local tea as a coffee replacement instead of doing this - but even if they must have coffee (like me) it is a step in the right direction.

It's all a lot clearer when you have a google MyMap in front of you to see where everything comes from like we provide on our listings pages.

:D Thanks again we are on discord and will join soon.
