Six Reasons to GoLocal

We can think of many reasons, but these six are powerful.

1. Buying from locally owned businesses rather than chain stores keeps your money circulating three times longer in the local economy.

2. With that money, local businesses create the majority of new jobs.

3. Local businesses are, by far, the best supporters of community projects and non-profits.

4. Because they live here, local businesses provide the best customer service and support.

5. Buying locally helps protect the planet, because fewer products are shipped from far away places.

6. Most of all, supporting local business and products preserves our unique place, not just cookie-cutter Anyplace, USA.

Here are some great examples of what is happening around the country.  We hope you are inspired by these examples.
