BALLE-SC - the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies-Sonoma County - is sponsoring a Think Local First campaign to encourage people to spend money within the local community (for example, Sebastopol) whenever possible. Recirculating money within a local economic area benefits the people who actually live and work there. It's important to use your local buying power where it will do the most good, rather than diluting its force by supporting faraway national or global corporations.
