Did you know that when we shop locally, we are living more sustainably? When you purchase items that are made locally, not only are you supporting a local person or family, your money goes farther, because one small purchase means so much more to them. You are also buying a product that has less of a carbon footprint than if you purchased from a large company. And if you can't make a purchase to show your support for a local business, that's okay. Instead, you can do any of these things here, for free! We as consumers have the power of choice.
Check out this awesome blog post about shopping local by the Canadian bloggers of My New Neighbour. The blog is run by three individuals who live in Calgary and they post about shopping locally and ethically in Canada.
