- Promoting Sustainability: Small businesses often have smaller carbon footprints than larger corporations. By buying locally, we can help reduce environmental impact.
- Preserving Cultural Heritage: Local businesses add a unique flavor to a community, often showcasing the region’s traditions, history, and culture. They help maintain diversity against the rising tide of globalization.
