Why Shop Local?
Local business is our business. Shopping locally not only helps promote the local economy, but also supports the strength and growth of our community including events and not for profit organizations. Each time you shop local you help a business stay open which in turn pays taxes to benefit important Town provided services like our local RCMP, our Volunteer Fire Department, senior services, the Stettler Public Library, road maintenance and parks and contributes to the quality of life you enjoy. Now more than ever, your money helps to employ neighbours to put food on their table, pay their mortgage, and put kids in activities helping our community survive. Think Local, Shop Stettler and see how your dollars make a difference in our community! |

Did You Know?We all know that shopping local helps our community by providing jobs for our friends and neighbours, assisting with our local not for profits, and boosting our economy; but did you know the benefits of shopping local on our environment? Over 3.1% of human caused carbon emissions are produced by shipping products around the world. And it is expected to increase to at least 10% by 2050. What use to be shipped in large quantities to retail locations, is now couriered direct to us from across the globe, each additional order increasing our carbon footprint as we go. And if we need to return an item, that environmental impact doubles. When we shop locally, we reduce our carbon footprint by decreasing the miles required for those shipments. Many of the products we order from across the globe are already here on the shelves, or an even better version is available locally. And returns? They are often eliminated because you find that perfect item the first time around but if not, they are offered more efficiently and often with better customer service. So, the next time you think about making a purchase, take a minute to think how it will impact the environment and check out local first! #thinklocalshopstettler www.shopstettler.ca |
