This past weekend spring officially began, bringing with it the hope of having warmer weather and enjoying the outdoors. The Tioga County Health Department encourages those with cabin fever to shop locally this year to help local businesses and the economy recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
In their weekly brief, the Health Department wrote, “All of us have felt the impacts of COVID-19, particularly our local businesses that closed their doors during the early months of the pandemic. Local business owners are our neighbors, friends, and even relatives; when we support their business, we support them and their families.”
There are several other benefits to shopping local. It’s convenient! It’s better for the environment by helping reduce the carbon footprint. You’re investing in your community. It helps create demand for local jobs. There are great deals to be found. You’re likely to find quality products. Products are more likely to be sustainably sourced. There’s more chance of finding the weird, wonderful, and quirky, and you make more thoughtful purchases.
