One thing is the cause of all these problems: free trade. When a country has free trade agreements with distant countries, the first thing that comes to mind is that everything has to be transported, usually by massive cargo ship. Another supporter of free trade is our eating habits that have changed as consumers expect to buy mangos in January, yams in March and strawberries, raspberries and blue berries 12 months of the year. Big corporations like free trade. Cancel free trade, produce the bulk of what is needed here, reduce pollution and protect our plants and animals and create well-paying jobs with a future.
