At the end of the experiment, Carle takes out a bank loan to refurnish his home and clothe himself. A special “auditor” declares him 96.9% “made in France” and Montebourg visits to present him with a medal. Carle’s conclusion: “It’s not entirely possible or even desirable to live 100% ‘made in France,’ particularly in terms of new technology.” But that wasn’t the point. “This wasn’t about French nationalism or patriotism. It was trying to show that we should reflect about the way we consume and make different choices, and that applies in all countries. If we want to save jobs and industries, wherever we are, we might think about supporting them.”
What did Carle say about the possibility of living with products 100% ‘made in France’?
That is it not feasible, especially with respect to new technology That he was only able to live 96.9% with products that are made in France That it can help save jobs and industries That it might be possible in the future
