On-line sellers must state the country of manufacture in the product description

What the petition asks
Without the requirement to state the country of manufacture or where it is being shipped from we are unwittingly exacerbating the problem of global warming by having goods shipped to the UK from around the world, and possibly buying products from countries we would rather not be trading with.
By purchasing products that originate from certain countries around the world we are effectively condoning the actions of the governments in power in those countries. I do not wish to see money being used by any regime to fund their ideologies and potentially increase their power in a way that may negatively impact their own citizens lives or even ours in the UK.
