Supporting local keeps more money in the local
economy. Locally owned business build a sense of stronger community by keeping
up the ecstatic of a neighborhood, by linking neighbors economically and
socially, and by contributing to local causes.
One of a Kind business often select products
based, not on a national sales or trends, but on their own interests and the
needs of their local customers, this provides more unique and specialized
product choices.
Supporting the Environment. Buying local has
less impact on the environment because items such as fruit and vegetables do
not need to be shipped across the country to be purchases. Therefore, produce is fresher and in season
so you are getting a richer variety of food throughout the year. In addition, local business often have nicer
up keep and good use of their space unlike sprawling strip malls and huge outlet
centers.
Above all you can have a sense of pride that you
know where your products are coming from and who they are supporting. They are
support you and your community!
