Made in "Your Country Here" ; Is it important to you?

[eppie]

Depends what products. fruit and vegetables I try to buy from as close by as possible, but living in sweden this doesn't always work out to good as you can imagine, but at least I try to buy local if I have the choice. For other stuff it is a different story. I mean china doesn't make to much good quality shoes and cloths for example, but all electronic stuff comes from there. And in a global economy it is anyway difficult to see if you have something that is really made 100%us for example. do you also look at where the raw materials came from? is job security in your country your main reason for buying local or is it environment and sustainability, or for example labour laws?
Anyway, interesting topic. Good post.
