Shop local. Keep it circular.
Every purchase is a choice. When you choose a locally owned, sustainable business, you support the people who live and work around you.
Why it matters
Locally owned businesses are run by people from our own communities. When they do well, the community they belong to shares in it.
Businesses that follow circular practices also think about what happens after a sale: less waste, more reuse and products made to last. Choosing them is one simple way to look after both your community and the planet.
Simple ways to help
Shop local first
Before you buy, check whether a local, independent business has what you need.
Reuse, repair, refill
Give things a second life, and support the shops that help you do it.
Spread the word
Tell friends and family about the local businesses you love. Word of mouth goes a long way.
