"Ice Cubes Imported to Iceland Icelanders must import numerous necessities, but who would have guessed ice cubes were among them? According to RÚV, ice cubes are imported to Iceland by the tons. They are sold in Icelandic grocery stores at a price far below that of Icelandic ice cubes. Consumers need to know that such an import leaves a large carbon footprint, a biologist at Landvernd, the Icelandic Environment Association, points out. In Icelandic grocery stores, the ice cubes they offer come from places such as Norway, the UK and the US. The price of Icelandic ice cubes can be as much as 40 percent higher than that of the imported ones. Biologist Rannveig Magnúsdóttir, who works for Landvernd, commented, “I find this completely insane, as I’m sure most people do, and I think our cousins in Norway and Scotland laugh at the fact that they can sell Icelanders ice.”" icelandreview.com/news/2016/10/20/ice-cubes-imported-iceland |

In Chiangrai my dog food is airfreighted from Bangkok overnight. That must use resources. |

If I but from Lazarda they airfreight the 20kg package each month free all the way from bangkok. If I buy locally it is more than 200 baht dearer even from the same supplier (Tesco). I would much rather have my dogs eat this rubish than eat the stuff supplied free on the streets.
