the 350 project

We copied this from info@ the350project.net. CHECK IT OUT!!

3:    What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they  
       disappeared? Stop in. Sayhello. Pick up something that brings a smile. 
       Your purchases are what keep these businesses around.

50:   If half the employed population spent $50 each month at locally owned 
        independent businesses it would generate more than $42.6 billion in  
        revenue. Imagine that positive impact if 3/4 of the population did that.

68:   For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores $68 of that  
       returns to the community through taxes, payroll & other expenditures. 
       If you spend that at a nation chain,only $43 stays here. Spend it online, 
       and NOTHING comes home.

1:      The number of people it takes to start the trend... YOU!

Pass the info around!! PLEASE SHOP YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!
