Green Giving Tip
According to SupportLocalBusiness.org for every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 goes back into the
community and our tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store, only $14
comes back. So support local businesses and you can do it today!
The 2nd annual Small
Business Saturday® is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of
the busiest shopping weekends of the year. Shop Smallsm
at your favorite local stores and help fuel the economy. When we all shop
small, it will be huge.
Gift Idea #2
One of my
favorite small businesses is nest – natural elements selected thoughtfully –
which chooses products that are:
- Organic
- Recycled
- Environmentally friendly
- Fair trade
- Hand made
- Supportive of a healthy lifestyle
Here is one of great gift items that nest has to offer:
Sari Scarves
$50 each
Made from recycled
vintage sari material and fair-trade. Many assorted colors. The company
also supports Trees For the Future.
This item is not
available online, so come to Clarksville, Maryland to see all the great gift
items nest has to offer.
If you are not local to
nest, support a small business by checking out Green America’s National Green Pages
for a local, green business near you.
