Monday I went up to Bethlehem, NH to WREN (Women's Rural Entrepreneurial Network) with Sally to see Michelle Long, Executive Director, and co-founder of Sustainable Connections.
I am very much interested in "Buy Local" campaigns. I was out driving the Western, ME countryside for work this a.m. and realized how many defunt farms exist in our "Valley" ... if only we could revive that part of our economy! With the current state of the US, and gas prices soaring, don't you think buying local and being local is going to become a lot more important?
Sustainable Connetions Website
"We work with local, independently owned businesses that have the autonomy to make any transformational change in their business that they can imagine… reexamining where we buy goods and services, how we consume energy, grow and distribute our food, build homes, and even, how we define success in business. Sustainable Connections is supporting a community of innovators in green building, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, supporting independent businesses in town centers, and mentoring a new breed of entrepreneurs that have designed their business with a sustainable vision."
Please take a minute to click through to any of the highlighted words above. Link Local, Be local, By local.
