Wait. Doesn't it take hundreds if not thousands of trucks and/or railcars to transport those goods from the container ships at the port, to all the warehouses and stores throughout the U.S., anyway?
If we really want to cut down on the colossal carbon footprint created by container ships crossing the ocean, back and forth, we should cut down on the vast number of goods manufactured overseas, along with the required massive exports and imports.
But
