| "Sustainability is as much about our neighbors and communities as
it is about the environment. Money spent locally circulates through the
community, supporting our teachers, our neighbors, our friends. Strong
local businesses give young people opportunities and options right here
at home.
It's important to weigh the few dollars saved by driving out of town
against the loss of economic vitality when independent shops and trades
people close their doors for want of those same dollars. By weaving a
strong fabric of mutual support we create a more interesting and vibrant
community... a more desirable place to live, work, play, visit. It's a
choice each of us can, and do, make every day." -- Lisa |
