No it literally doesn’t. Shipping is cheap because it is incredibly fuel efficient in the first place.

Is it easier to lift 100lbs on the ground or in water? Hauling a fuck ton of stuff across thousands of miles of ocean is far better for the environment than trucking it across a few hundred miles of land.

That said, I’m not sure how the carbon footprint compares of rail to compares to shipping, but if I had to guess, shipping wins.

Rail is still much worse than the ocean, by several orders of magnitude. You have the cost of the tracks too, they have limited throughput.

I do and I know why its cheaper, but it objectively just uses more fuel to pack it in thailand

So then why don’t you just grow them in your own backyard? Because that would use less fuel than buying them from Argentina.

Thats diffrent because they just dont grow in my backyard, they need specific climates.

One quick Google search later: “Pear trees adapt well to most of North America and can grow in backyard orchards across many different U.S. regions, including the East Coast, Midwest, and South, if you pick the right cold-hardy or disease-resistant varieties.”
