that's the one i feel worst about. i've been importing a LOT of stuff lately, mostly for my troupe, but also some personal items. and they all got shipped half around the world... doesnt quite tie in with my effort to only eat local food cause of the food miles...
but well, there is not really an alternative, with most of the stuff i bought, nobody makes it around here. even if i would buy them locally, they'd come from the same place.
i do try to not sell costumes second hand to the US, and want to sell them locally. have been guilty of buying them though.
