Infographic – Why Buy Local?

May 25, 2011 Lindsay

One of the things I mentioned in the post about KayaFest – was supporting local businesses like the BigBurrito restaurants because they support good things in Pittsburgh.

Thank you to my friend Tara (who runs Daffodil Vintage – an online vintage shop that is based here in Pittsburgh) for sending me this infographic on buying local.  Lots more info on how spending your dollar locally benefits your community.
