In the spirit of celebrating local business, esteemed writer Heidi Butzine, author of “Shop Local, A Practical Pain Free Guide to Shopping with Purpose,” will be at SAGE, signing copies of her book. According to an article posted by Online PR News released earlier this month, Butzine explained how shopping local can reduce everyone’s “carbon footprint”: “An important step towards leading a green lifestyle includes sustainability and taking steps towards conservation. Shopping local is directly related not only because it means less driving thereby reducing harmful exhaust emissions but more money spent locally stays within the community supporting the sustainability of our local economy. Following the tips I offer in my book, in some cases I’ve actually spent less at independently owned local businesses and had less waste by getting better quality products that last longer.”
