3/50 Project

28 February 2010 | conscious consumption, stuff I enjoy

I learned about this project a while ago and keep meaning to post something about it on here but keep forgetting so here it is.

It’s such a great idea and something people should really try to incorporate into their normal routine. Instead of going to some big chain store to buy things try to find a smaller independent store to support. Instead of going to Starbucks go to the local coffee shop. Invest in your community and support your neighbors. Even if you don’t have a lot of money, your money has power.

If we lose our small businesses we lose what makes our neighborhoods and cities unique. I’ve noticed this when traveling to new cities and am looking around and see chain after chain after chain. Pretty soon every city will be the same, with the same 10 stores and the same 10 chain restaurants.

Check our the 3/50 Project and tell others about them.

    I heard of the 3/50 Project a while back and am a proud supporter! I think this post, even a bit late, is a great thing. More people should be aware of this movement. In fact, it amazes me how few small businesses actually know about. I would think I would see more signs in windows, posters, etc. supporting the effort.

    Thanks again for the post, I think the pubic needs to be reminded of great things like this every once in a while.
