Impacts of a borderless society

Impacts of a borderless society

We live in a world where geographic boundaries cease to exist
when it comes to goods, services, and even food. We think nothing
of having freshly squeezed orange juice or kiwis for breakfast,
even if we live in New York City with 10-inches of snow on the
ground in the middle of January. We live in an age where everything
and anything is available for consumption year-round at your local
grocery store. Convenience comes with potentially major ecological
and economic impacts that are both positive and negative. For
example, the coffee you drink may come from beans imported from
Columbia, the sugar you use may come from India, or the steaks you
sear on the grill may have come from Argentina. How much fuel was
spent transporting these products across the ocean? Were any
pesticides used? If so, was it done in a sustainable fashion? Were
forests cleared to make room for grazing herds or larger
agricultural fields? These are just a few of the many questions we
should be asking ourselves when we make our selections at the
grocery store.
