Thinking Eco.Shopping Local.Priceless!
😎
We all have the ability to make smart choices, even small ones, that have an overall impact on where we are going with our economy, our carbon footprint and our community.
🥹
To shop local means you are choosing to spend your money in a conscious effort to support the merchants, restaurants, and service providers in your immediate community.
👩🌾🧑🌾
From the local food truck to local artisans to local produce and local services, choosing to keep your dollars in the community you live and breathe in, is no small contribution. Locally sourced items often require less transportation reducing costs and carbon footprint.
🩴
Did you know, a significant portion of every dollar spent at a local business stays in the community. These businesses create local jobs, pay municipal taxes that fund community services, and often buy their own supplies from other local vendors.
🕶️
As summer approaches, we are looking forward to working in and supporting the community we live in.
