Recycle
YOUR INCOME
BUY LOCAL!
In a community that values the principles of sustainability, there may be
no greater act of such than local purchases of goods and services. We
recycle our cans, bottles, paper, why not recycle and control our
incomes? Recirculated income or the process in which dollars are
exchanged within one’s local economy before leaving through the
purchase of an import adds significant value to our community. Known
as the local multiplier effect, it is a valuable hidden feature to our local
economy. For every $1.00 spent at a locally-owned business 68 cents
stays in the local economy….3 times more than chain stores and 100
times more than spending outside your community. Those dollars
work for our community over and over…..each dollar spent locally
returns up to $5! Buying locally supports jobs and wages, preserves
local charm and character, increases product diversity, creates a competitive
marketplace, supports public services, reduces public costs,
enhances quality of life and promotes environmental sustainability.
You can give a gift that rewards everyone. We can recycle our incomes
over and over to help build a more vibrant community and economy.
This holiday season support the businesses who support the area you
live, work and play….
Eat Local, Enjoy Local, Buy Local and Be Local.
