Shop Local First

This article talks about the top ten reasons to shop locally. It gives a statement and a reason for each, including a question of how the reader feels about it. This question is a mild call to action. The main points this article states that the reasons to shop locally are: money is kept close, it helps with the environment, it creates jobs, it sustains the local economy, plus a few more.

This is relevant to my research in that small businesses are so very vital to Utah's economy. I enjoyed reading this because it made myself want to shop small. The website that the article comes from is totally supportive of my research statement. As I looked through the website, I even found studies done right here in Utah. This is overall a very good website to use in research terms.
