Buy Local When You Can

There are many paths to more sustainable living. Buying local products and services is a great way to make a sustainable impact.  Studies show that when you buy from independent, locally owned businesses, more of your dollars are used to make purchases from other local businesses.

Benefits of buying local:

• ​Reduce the carbon footprint of your product or service
• Keep your community unique through specially curated products with less chain store selections
• Help create opportunity for good jobs since small, local employers are the largest national employer
• ​Better potential to support community groups
• Opportunity for better service
• Cultivate a sense of community and connnections
