I am using the same picture that I used in the previous exercise, it is a good case I reckon. Gran Canaria is an island, we are naturally isolated. On one side, most of our buildings are built with locally produced bricks. We have our own quarries, and even thought they have poor isolation qualities, they are made here, keeping the bricks cheap and the production close. On the other hand, as you see in the image, aluminum traffic signs, lamps and aluminum doors and windows need to be imported. Same as steel for reinforcing concrete. And that is only scratching the surface of buildings on the image, being an island, cars, public transports and motorbikes displayed in the image are there due to globalisation and global trade.
