Buying products produced locally and purchasing them from local businesses is a win for the community and the environment. Products that don’t have far to travel use less energy in transportation. And by buying locally we use less energy to get there. You might even walk or ride your bike! Don’t forget to check the Mobility category for points getting there. As Winnetka residents, let’s all collaborate to create a community that sustains itself and the environment. What’s not to love about that!
