Solutions: Top Ten Reasons

Lists of top ten reasons for anything tends to draw the attention of any person. The top ten reasons for supporting local businesses is no different. By listing reasons about what supporting small businesses does for it calls the consumer to a duty of support. Shopping local creates character and prosperity. It gives a community well-being, helps with local decision making, and entrepreneurship. Jobs and wages are created, which keeps money local, which in turn keeps public benefits up and costs down. Competition, in the long run, will keep businesses open by striving to be the best. Environmental sustainability is something very beneficial to the environment. Product diversity keeps people coming back for items.

This applies to my final essay to be written as this is a obvious call to action. Small businesses are in need of support from consumers in order to actually make it with an income. I, personally, enjoy short concise lists that are easy to understand. This source is one of those.
