Buying Local: The Advantages
The best way to be environmentally friendly and support your community, buying local means just that – purchasing items near your home (in your city or state). By purchasing goods locally, you stimulate the economy in which you live. Jobs are created or retained, the community gains revenue, families, and cultures are supported, and things thrive and grow. Purchasing locally also means that you know a bit more about quality control; you know that certain goods have been produced in a way that meets stringent regional and national standards. Further, sourcing locally reduces the transportation costs associated with your goods. Certainly, it takes less gas, and thus puts fewer greenhouse emissions into the air.
