Shopping local this holiday season isn’t just good for Minnesota’s economy, it supports the planet, too. When you buy from nearby makers and shops, your gifts travel fewer miles, meaning fewer emissions and less shipping waste. Plus, supporting local helps our neighbors and keeps our communities thriving. This year, skip the shipping truck and give the planet (and your neighbors) something to celebrate!
