Every dollar spent with a local company will circulate within your community 21 times.
Every dollar spent with a larger "big box" store will circulate only 7 times.
There is the additional benefit of a lighter carbon footprint due to fewer miles traveled to get to you.
What is local service or product? Simple: local service or product is offered, manufactured or produced as close to your home as you can get. Makes sense to me!

Raw Vegan Pregnancy Study foreverlovingraw@gmail.com has invited you to join
the Raw Vegan Pregnancy Study group with this message:
Greetings to all who may be interested in the Raw Vegan Pregnancy Study,
I am reaching out to everyone who might be interested in actually knowing,
beyond fantasy or bias, just how healthy raw vegan moms & babies can be. The
study will examine nutritional stats and other significant data collected from
lab results, midwife & physician charts from perinatal visits with pregnant
moms. The results will be published in a beautiful book containing data charts,
personal stories, recipes, recommended reading, website links, and photos.
Please join us, and feel free to forward this invitation, or send me links to
individuals or groups who you think may be interested. I am also looking for
one assistant who can help me specifically to find and contact other groups to
spread the word.
