DID YOU
KNOW?
"A dollar spent at a locally owned store is usually
spent 6-15 times before it leaves the community. From $1, you create $5-$14 in
value within your community."
"Spend $1 at a national chain store and
80% of it leaves town immediately."
Quotes: Tim Mitchell, first cited in
'E' Magazine - article available through the Northwest Earth Institute's
'Changes For Sustainable Living' discussion course book.
