There’s a relatively new Summit County website worth taking a look at; it’s the site for the Summit Independent Business Alliance (SIBA) and can be found here: www.summitindependentbusiness.com. The site explains the importance of cultivating our county’s economy by, well, just being a local. And by being a local, they mean eating locally, shopping locally, and buying locally.

The SIBA website explains how patronizing local businesses can pack a triple punch by (1) boosting our local economy, (2) strengthening our local charities, and (3) protecting our environment. It’s amazing how easy it is to make a difference in our local vitality and sustainability, and SIBA is committed to educating us about the various ways in which we can do so.

Sign up and become a member, check out recommended readings that’ll open your eyes to the importance of buying local, or just browse through the useful information found throughout the site. Thanks to SIBA, I now understand just how important it truly is for me to be local, buy local, and support local.
