Editor,
The holiday season is approaching and with it a wonderful time to support our local economy. Too often we head out to eat, buy presents and groceries and we fail to realize the power and impact we have as free-market capitalist consumers.
By spending our money in the local economy and buying local goods, we are providing valuable tax dollars for local services and schools. Buying handmade goods from our local artisans helps support the arts and culture in our beautiful city. Going out to eat in local restaurants supports our amazing reputation for fine cuisine in Albuquerque. Taking vacations in our beautiful state helps maintain our majestic parks and vacation spots.
It can be easy to get apathetic and forget that you have power to influence the world around you. Make our beautiful city and state a better place.
