Buy Nothing Day

November 29
Buy Local Day

Saturday
Today is a day to support local merchants, and boost local economies. Do big corporations have our best interests at heart, or are profits their bottom line? This is a day to think about what it takes to fill the shelves of a big box store; the energy and resources used, and the miles traveled to bring us all the “stuff.” Most of the money spent in corporate stores leaves our communities, but the majority of money spent in local stores benefits our own hometowns.
