phase
Our research
1) We went to local shops in order to gather information on the origin of the most common food
2) We calculated the distance between the origin and the sale point
3) We calculated the environmental impact in kg of co2 emitted in the transportation process

2 km if you drink a cup of coffee from Brazil
1 km if you eat cacao from Central Africa
