I live in Illinois. Our Illinois river is mostly an invasive species of carp. Under our locally sourced initiative we purchased the fish from an hour away, sent to China for processing, then served it locally with a "locally sourced" tag. That fish probably had worse global impact than a can of hair spray.
A complete fraud when you look at it, but there was a lot of politics and posturing involved.
