Shop Local: A Practical Pain-Free Guide to Shopping with Purpose by Heidi ButzineMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Shop Local by Heidi Butzine is quite enlightening short read that this very informative in regards to shopping local and feeding money directly back into the community. Shop Local opens my eyes and hopefully others in why it is important to shop local. Not only does Butzine give us the reasoning for shopping local, she also provides statistics to back up her claim on how shopping local directly affects the community in which we live. No she does go hard on big corporations throughout the book but this only reinforces her points on the benefits of shopping local. As Heidi implies we need to really support our community, by doing so we support our immediate economy as well.
Shop Local is not only full of statistics it has a lot of nice graphics, charts and pull outs sporadically placed in some of its chapters. I believe this helped move the information along; when Butzine made reading for lack of better words interactive. As I will not implement all of her recommendations I am quite thankful that she laid quite a few instructions on how to shop local while not breaking the bank to do so.
