Small is going to be HUGE

Small is going to be HUGE is a campaign by by many woman's, small business and tourist entities.  They're trying to get you to do the right thing this shopping season- shop at your local and independently owned businesses. 

The result?  Generating revenue back into our communities. 

The rich have been getting richer, large in part due to our habit of shopping at big box stores- putting the little man, and his/her employees out of meaningful work.  Too much of our hard earned money is funneled upward to corporate owners, while they communities and employees suffer. 

My husband and I NEVER shop at Wall-Mart and haven't for at least a decade.  I haven't needed a reason to go there...and we do not even make middle-class income.   It is possible, give it a try.

If you're shopping this weekend, shop small- shop independent- shop local!

  1. The Buffalo version is "Give Local a Chance" http://buffalofirst.org/buylocalweek :-) I've managed to avoid Walmart for about three years, a difficult feat in Tioga County, but do-able. Did ya see the latest story of stuff release? http://storyofstuff.org/electronics/
