MODERATORS
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.
Unless, of course, you need to build new production facilities. That's not going to be as green as using the ones that already exist
