Spencer likes to do it shopping
He:
- buys quality products that last for a long time
- shops for second-hand items and recycled clothing
- repairs broken items
- borrows books and CD’s from the library
- buys less STUFF!
Why does buying local goods matter? Locally produced means less fuel is used to transport the product from the factory to the shop, equalling less transport pollution.
