If you live in Europe, precious little is domestically produced (ground-to-consumer) any more. We depend on South and East Asia for almost everything, increasingly including raw materials (steels, plastics, etc) for the tiny amount of secondary manufacturing we still do.

Going without (or reusing, recycling) isn't a wholly harmful strategy but it does take a lot of willpower.
