The 3/50 project is a creative way to support your local economy during the economic downturn. I recently read about the project on
simple + pretty and I wanted to spread the word. The idea is to pick three independently owned stores that you would miss if they were gone and stop by and purchase something. Can you imagine if just half of the working population of the U.S. spent $50 a month on independently owned stores? It would total $42,629,700,000! Learn more about the project on the
3/50 website. Also, I agree with Emily from
the scoop that this should include small businesses and independent artists who advertise on
Etsy. You can even search Etsy stores by location. I'm in love with this french postcard series from my friends at
this paper ship. Available for purchase
here.
