Local Green Gift Guide
The Infinite West
BUY GREEN! BUY LOCAL!
We at Infinite West believe that sustaining our local economy is the first step toward achieving our other sustainable goals, both environmental and cultural. Purchasing sustainable local products and services will go a long
way toward providing a beautiful, clean and healthy planet for future generations. What better gift could we give to our grandchildren?
“If half the employed population spent $50 each month at locally owned
businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.”
- U.S. Department of Labor
“For every $100 spent in independently owned local businesses, $68 returns to the community (through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures). Spent in a national chain, we’re lucky if $43 stays in our community. Spent
online—nothing comes home.”
- Grand County Businesses Without Borders
