It seems that the biggest stories these days have to do with the sinking economy. With Wall St. on the ropes and non-stop bickering taking place in Washington, Main St. seems to be in the back seat during these hard times. However, there is one way that people can help the economy - staying local.
That is why Fort Collin's very own Be Local Coupon Book is this year's must-have booklet.
Started three years ago by the Local Living Economy Project, the Be Local Coupon Book offers over $5,000 in savings (at a cost of only ten bucks) to the unique, sustainable, and homegrown organizations around Fort Collins.
The Local Living Economy Project realizes that the depths of human creativity and compassion start at a local level, and would like to see that human element grow. They know that independent businesses are crucial for the local economy to flourish and would like to tell their stories.
The Be Local Coupon Book is part of Fort Collin's effort to reinvent commerce as a system of honorable, enlivening and equitable relationships within the community. Numerous businesses in the booklet help Fort Collin's effort in sustainability and environmentally responsible practices.
You can get yours at 40 outlets around the community, so be sure to get yours and help change the nation's economic story from the ground up!
If your city does not have a booklet dedicated to helping the local economy flourish and is looking for a similar voice, check out this demo site.
