Shifting 10% of your spending doesn't cost more - it just takes a little effort. In fact, it you think about how you're spending your money each time you open your wallet, you may indeed spend less.
Nova Scotians spending spend $13 billion annually on food and consumer goods. Shifting 10% of your consumption would mean $1.3 billion would flow back into local businesses & local farmers. Those businesses and farms are run by your friends, neighbors and families. Those businesses are also the ones that donate to local charitable or organizations & sports teams because we live here too.
$1.3 billion sounds like a lot of money, because it is. But it can happen by making a lot of small choices.
- a crisp Annapolis Valley apple instead an imported one
- a locally roasted coffee at a locally owned cafe instead of a chain
- a pair of sneakers from the locally owned shoe store that sponsors the road race you're taking part in
- dining at one of our fabulous chef-owned restaurants that turn our wonderful farmers meats and vegetables into truly fantastic food
- buying a t-shirt from a local store, designed by a local graphic artist instead of online from someone you'll never meet
- drinking local wine, beer & spirits and meeting the winemaker that picked the grapes and crafted the wine
Teach your children that things are still made here, that food is still grown here and that community matters.
So, today, take the pledge to SHIFT 10% of your shopping - make your own choices - think about your community - make a difference.
