Shopping local DOES make a difference!
Here’s how:
Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers-which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution,
Local, one-of-a-kind businesses add distinctive character to a community!
Locally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant ‘town centers’, linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes,
Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions,
Locally owned businesses recycle much of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community
