Thanks to all who participated yesterday on The RMOG blog, The RMOG Facebook Page and on The Muse in Purple Blog.
Today is Community & Small Business Sunday. We want you to go out and get involved with your local community.
Keeping
money local and in your economy helps the environment. Locally owned
businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation
and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to
developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to
sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. Plus
it puts your taxes to good use: Local businesses in town centers
require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make more
efficient use of public services as compared to nationally owned stores
entering the community.
Go to a farmer's market, buy from a local business to keep your business dollars in your local community, use your time to volunteer, educate someone on a sustainable issue that is important to you, etc. Use your imagination. We want to hear what you did to connect with your local city and local people
Tell us about your Sunday challenge activity in the comments section below (if you don't have blogger login, be sure to leave the comment with your name or email address). Plus, to obtain more points, head on over the The RMOG Facebook Page and The Muse in Purple Blog.
We hope you are having fun so far!
