Do you buy Locally?

November 18, 2010

Joyce Wilson, Salvation Army employee

Yes. I do because it supports a sustainable local economy and knowing that products are local increases my level of comfort in consuming them.
Anthony Clarke, Downtown YMCA employee

No. I don’t really care to look for them when I am shopping.
Robert Benjamin, unemployed

I might be. I buy from health food stores. I don’t know if that’s locally produced or not.
Habiba Jen, second-year business and economics student

I’m not sure. I just moved here and I don’t know if the brands I am buying are local or not.
Fabian Suárez-Amaya, fourth-year education student

Yes, because it’s important to reduce our daily environmental impact.
Jennifer Steiss, third-year psychology student

Yes, because I believe in reducing my ecological footprint. I also support buying locally to keep local businesses running.
