Committing to the Local Economy

$100.00

That’s what I’m committing per week to the local economy.

It doesn’t mean I’m spending more. It means I’m consciously choosing local with my spending.

Local produce at the grocery stores.

Local restaurants for takeout.

Local coffee shops for my coffee

Independent gas stations

Local suppliers for our business

It’s a challenge. The large companies are great at staying front and centre in my headspace and making it convenient for me to buy.

And yet it is the local businesses that add the flavor to a region and they are the people who spend their dollars in the community and support the vibrancy of our home.

I’d encourage you to try.
