The 3/50 Projects asks you to think about which three independently owned businesses you would miss most if they were gone. Once you have your list, stop in to the businesses and say "Hello", make a purchase (any dollar amount will due) and show the business your support. The Project doesn't ask you to avoid chain or "big box" stores but to simply shift $50 of your monthly budget to independently owned businesses.
"If just half the employed US population spent $50 each month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 Billion in revenue."
On the 3/50 Project website, www.the350project.net, consumers can gather information on the importance of Buying Local. Business owners can register their business with the Project, free of charge, and download flyers and other promotional material. |
