the 3/50 project

Saving the brick and mortars our nation is built on.

3 Think about which three independently owned businesses you'd miss most if they were gone.  Stop in and say hello.  Pick up a little something that will make someone smile.  YOUR contribution is what keeps those businesses around. 

50  If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.  Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

68  For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.  If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here.  Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1  The number of people it takes to start the trend...YOU. 

Pick 3.  Spend 50.  Save your local economy.  Visit www.the350project.net
