Why supporting + shopping small is important:
It supports your neighbors. When you shop at a small business, you are putting money directly into the pockets of your neighbors. This helps to create jobs and boost the local economy. It also helps to build a sense of community, as you get to know the people who own and work at the businesses you support.
It helps to create a more equitable economy. Big box stores often have a lot of power, and they can sometimes drive out smaller businesses. This can have a negative impact on communities, as it can lead to job losses and a decrease in the diversity of businesses. By shopping small, you can help to level the playing field and create a more equitable economy.
It reflects your values. When you shop small, you are supporting businesses that share your values. This could mean supporting businesses that are committed to sustainability, social justice, or fair trade. It could also mean supporting businesses that are owned by people from marginalized communities. By shopping small, you can make a statement about what you believe in and help to create a more just world.
Of course, there are also practical reasons to shop small. Small businesses often offer more personalized service, and they can be more flexible in meeting your needs. They may also carry unique products that you won't find at big box stores.
So next time you're out shopping, consider shopping small. It's a loving way to support your community, your neighbors, and your own values.
