Shopping locally is one of the greenest things you can do. It's obvious, less fuel spent to drive to your destination along with fewer emissions. There's another added benefit to buying from your mom and pop store down the street. According to the 3/50 Project, for every $100 spent with a locally owned business, $68 returns to your community. When the same amount is spent at a franchise or big box store, only $43 remains. Online purchases return nothing. Invest in your hometown by supporting your locally owned businesses!
