Thanks for posting this!! It should be required reading in high schools :)

I’m in Florida, and have a movement going here to shop locally. Heard about your blog from one of our members at localshops1.com.

Thank you for this well thought out article. With the economic woes, we need to consider where we spend those hard-earned dollars so they have the most direct impacts. As you describe so well, keeping local businesses helps the environment, helps preserve historic character of an area, helps your neighbor who owns the shop, helps the local economy and makes you feel more connected to your community. And yet we find ourselves in the big box stores without thinking... Jo-Annes last blog post..The Perfect Home Office
