This is exactly what most Westerners do not get about China. If you want to reduce emissions stop buying their products.

Help me find a consumer toaster made in the United States. I searched for six months and only found ones made in China.

If I want a giant hotel toaster, there is an American option. But nothing sized for a household kitchen.

There are lots of people who make efforts to buy domestically. But so much manufacturing has gone to China that for some items there is no alternative.

I'm not sure how to say this constructively, but your comment reads as if there are only 2 countries in the world! Why is 'Made in USA' your only alternative to 'Made in China'?

It isn't. But as I stated, there were exactly zero choices other than Made in China when I searched. And I did a very thorough search.

Dualit Classic. A very expensive toaster that's been made by hand, for ages, in the UK. Repairable too!

Ossim. When I live in the UK I'll pick one up. Until then, the point stands: Made in China is all that is available to me.

Supply and demand. There is no demand of US toasters at the moment. The US has moved almost every production facility to China to make stake holders happy. The question is was it worth it?

Sounds like we need regulations to prevent the outsourcing of manufacturing to China.
