5 Reasons to Shop Local this
Holiday Season:
1. Community Well-Being
Locally-owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining
communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local
causes.
2. Local Decision Making
Local ownership means that important decisions are made locally by
people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of
those decisions.
3. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy
Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times
the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains.
When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more
city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood
improvement and promote community development.
4. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship fuels America's economic innovation and
prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of
low-wage jobs and into the middle class
5. Environmental Sustainability
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. |
