Increase in local shopping
Reducing your carbon footprint and conscious shopping are just two terms banded around in the national and local media and with good reason as although the government, the local councils and local businesses have a commitment to "doing their bit" to be as environmentally friendly as possible and develop green projects and initiatives it is also the responsibility of all of the local residents to play their part in this too.
LetsGoLocal are no different and as you may have seen in the about us section has a commitment to the environment in as many ways as it possibly can. By providing a paper free directory and an ever growing list of local service providers will have an impact in how we shop and reduce our carbon footprints in the process. Using local service providers instead of national service providers for your every day needs makes sense in so many ways
- It reduces your carbon footprint by not travelling too far, if at all, to meet your requirements whether it be for business or for pleasure. There is a wealth of quality service providers in your local area that can offer the same product if not a better one at competitive prices and with that local quality of service and attention to detail you can be sure your expectations will be met and probably surpassed.
- It reduces their carbon footprint. By using local services it also reduces their driving distances for delivery that not only reduces the carbon emissions but also will have an impact on road usage which in turn can only be good for the environment.
- Sustaining a thriving local economy encouraging economic regeneration and development. Having a local economic community that is creating more business and jobs in the area prevents the local population having to travel further to work and means you do not have to travel further afield to find the services you require.
