Buy Locally Grown and Produced Products Utah!
Mar 6th, 2008 by admin
When consumers buy locally grown and produced products it helps the economy in Utah. For instance, when you receive your tax credit from the Bush administration this spring try spending it locally. If you take your $600 tax credit and spend it on local goods or services, these local vendors or service providers use the money they receive to purchase other local goods and services. Before you know it this cycle has repeated it self many times before the money is finally used to import goods or services from outside the area. If this happened only 5 times that would be like introducing $3000 into the community. Now, if you spent that $600 with a business outside the local area the money would have little effect on our economy. The $600 would only have the affect of $600 versus the $3000 on local goods and services.
Do you want to reduce your environmental footprint while supporting local farmers, food production facilities, restaurants and grocery chains? Lets work together Utah to keep small farms viable, create community food security and control a local food supply. Their are many local restaurants, farmers markets and other small businesses that we should all support. After all, they are our neighbors.
