How green is your food?
I immediately thought of food that comes from the other end of the world using planes etc. and the associated air pollution. I did find an online article that supported that idea:

However, my visual ideas came to me before I found the article, I made notes such as 'veg on a plane' or 'veg driving'. I thought I could use some recognisable vegetables as metaphors. I looked on the net for images of vehicles and made some sketches:
I liked this idea of the motorbike, and decided to work on the idea of a chicken as a hell's angel on a Harley Davidson and got straight into it. My veg (peas or beans) had arms added to make the image work, but my family criticised them and said they could be all sort of things rather than veg. My idea of a Harley rider facing the viewer, would work better with a chicken as it had 'arms and legs' already there.
