 The eco-score calculation is based on countries. As some countries are very big, any transport in such a country might be seen as greenwashing. Also it makes comparison between countries impossible.
-Instaead of using countries as smallest entity, one could use territories of a country as smallest entity. For France this would mean the Régions, for Germany the Länder, etc. If the purchase and production location fall within a single territory, the bonus score would be 100. Any transport between territories would imply a lower bonus score.

Any transport between territories would imply a lower bonus score. This might be offered as an option to a user, who wants to be more transportation conscious.
 If both the purchase and production location are not known, we could fall back to the country based eco-score. If either the purchase or the production location is unknown, we can make the assumption that the it is in the most populous territory and calculate the eco-score based on this.
-Need an example to see what the effect would be. For instance purchasing a Camembert in Nice, etc.
+This idea can be explored a bit further. The first step is that we need to know the territory of the user. Then we have the following three situations:
+# Producer in the same territory -
+# Producer in another territory -
+# Producer in another country -
 === Distances ===
 It also possible to look at the various [[transportation distances]] outside the context of the ecoscore.
