National Buy Local Day

Saturday, November 18, 2006

Today is National Buy Local Day. Be sure to support your local mom&pop surf shops. Please support your local shapers and glassers.

Why Buy Local?

• Local businesses produce more income, jobs, and tax receipts for local communities than big box stores do.
• Local businesses are more likely to utilize local ads, banks and other services.
• Local businesses donate more money to nonprofits and are more accountable to their local communities.
• Supporting local businesses preserves the economic diversity of our communities and the unique character of our neighborhoods.
• Supporting local businesses is good for the environment, because it cuts down on fuel consumption. Buying locally produced goods reduces the need to ship goods from thousands of miles away and also cuts down on the distances shoppers travel.

Art by Miles Thompson. Before Rob turned pro and the surf media dubbed him "Mob" Rob was known locally as "Mouse" because he was so small. Miles drew the early Mouse cartoons on all Rob's boards shaped by Sauritch.
