I originally wanted to do a post about mass-produced Chinese made goods having a smaller carbon footprint than local products. However I am not allowed to disagree with my wife on the environment.
Please consider the following factors, Jackass: 1) The lax/non-enforced environmental standards for the manufacturing industry in China (local and international air and water pollutants) and 2) The carbon cost of shipping Chinese products to the United States: in the form of fuel for air/shipping transport, additional packaging materials required, etc.
My name is Ari, you know, like the agent from Entourage. This is really my first foiree (French for foray) into the digital media world. These are just a couple of my thoughts and a variety of silly things I have said in an attempt to give people the impression that I know more than I actually do. The truth is, we all do it. Nothing posted here has been verified, certified or accuratized. These postings are merely the musings and hypotheses of one man based on his observations. That said, something could be true, who knows? I’m not a reference book. Man, I hope someone believes the source of the word dungarees.
