WAS: Support Local Biz Postcard

Support Local Businesses and Marginalized Business Owners!

Amazon may be convenient, cheap, and all in one spot, but when you buy from local vendors and artisans, you’re supporting your local economy. Local businesses and employees can then buy local products and patronize local services themselves, and local shipping requires less packaging and allows for use of more sustainable material.

Buying locally also gives community members opportunities to support and promote businesses owned and operated by women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled folx.

Madison Black Chamber of Commerce has a comprehensive list of BIPOC business owners here!

Why is this sustainable?

More eco-friendly packaging, boosting your local economy, and supporting minority-owned businesses creates a positive feedback loop where more minority entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to create more locally-produced goods and services with more sustainable materials! Plus Jeff Bezos makes a little less money off exploited workers. What’s not to love?
