not necessarily for short circuits. Transport represents less than 0.1 percent of the CO2 in a T-shirt. And a Le Havre Paris by truck emits more CO2 per T-shirt than a Shanghai Le Havre by boat.
So a T-shirt produced in Portugal and transported by truck in France has a CO2 transport footprint that is 10 times greater than a T-shirt from China.
Second, there are labels guaranteeing good working conditions. If we take production away from Asian countries, they will remain in misery.
This is the bias of the eco-responsible brand Coton Vert, which keeps its production in Bangladesh but audits suppliers strictly. They also finance a home there that allows the housing and education of young Bangladeshis who get off the streets.

Sage Octopus: it is true that a container ship does not pollute the water, it is also true that cotton does not waste water at all and it is even more true that the trend is not at all towards relocation and rather to help Bangladeshis to live better... It is sad to say but ecologism and liberalism do not mix. Every country should focus on itself and stop this globalization and consumerism on a large scale... Buying clothes that are more expensive because they are made in France is completely coherent and responsible. At least it will be a thoughtful and more casual purchase. Instead of buying T-shirts that go around the world...
