Recycle Your Income<br />

buy local<br />

The local multiplier effect is a<br />

In a community that values the<br />

principles of sustainability, there<br />

may be no greater act than local<br />

purchases of goods and services.<br />

We recycle our cans, bottles and<br />

paper, why not recycle and control<br />

our incomes?? Recirculated<br />

income, or the process in which<br />

dollars are exchanged within<br />

one’s local economy before leaving<br />

through the purchase of an<br />

import, adds significant value to<br />

our community.<br />

valuable hidden feature to our<br />

local economy. It states; for<br />

every $1.00 spent at a locally-owned<br />

business, 68 cents<br />

stays in the local economy….3<br />

times more than chain stores<br />

Spending<br />

$100 at a local business<br />

puts<br />

and 100 times more than<br />

spending outside your community.<br />

Those dollars work for<br />

our community over and<br />

over…..each dollar spent locally<br />

returns up to $5! Buying locally<br />

supports jobs and wages, preserves<br />

local charm and character,<br />

increases product diversity,<br />

creates a competitive marketplace,<br />

supports public services<br />

and reduces public costs,<br />

enhances quality of life and<br />

promotes environmental<br />

sustainability. You can give a<br />

gift that rewards everyone. We<br />

can recycle our incomes over<br />

and over and help build a more<br />

vibrant community and economy.<br />

This holiday season support<br />

the businesses who support<br />

the area where you live,<br />

work and play….Eat Local, Enjoy<br />

Local, Buy Local and Be Local<br />

this holiday season.<br />
