Save The Local Economy - Three Stores At A Time

(Thanks to AIBA member Jill Douthett for passing along this great info)

It can get overwhelming - there's so much we want to do to help - in our community and our world - but where to start? (and we've only got so much money.)  Well, the 3/50 project  (Mission: Save the local economy, three stores at a time) offers something easy to do, to help local biz survive and thrive.

Why Do YOU Buy/Eat/Drink/Whatever Local???

Here at AIBA, we're all about Buy LOCAL - it's on the web site, our bumper stickers, and postcards you may have received lately.  And, it's the right thing to do, for many reasons - not the least being it keeps more dollars in the local economy, which helps all of us (and lessens our dependency on out-of-state companies.)  But, being the "right thing to do" can also sound rather boring...so, here's one of the main reasons I Buy Local - it's more fun, pure and simple.
