I can guess that something made in China has a bigger carbon footprint
than the same thing made in the UK because of transposrt but what about
the CO2 cost of plastic A versus plastic B and so on - there must be
zillions of things you'd have to be a FoE mastermind to make a remotely
accurate 'educated' guess at.
