Where It Came From

Cool People Care » » Where It Came From

Have you ever thought about where all of the stuff in all of your stuff comes from? Where was the paper in your new book made? And where did the plastic in your kids’ toys come from? Thanks to Sourcemap.org, you can now see where your everyday items ultimately came from (and how much carbon it took to get them to you). For example, your iPod has been on quite a journey long before you take it on a jog. The point? Try to buy things that were made closer to you in order to better impact the planet.
