There is a green way to buy locally, saves energy and the local economy...

Here's a quick count down for great reasons to support your local economy and help yourself along the way:

• For every two jobs national retailers bring into a community, three jobs are lost as a result of local businesses closing down.
• When you buy from locally-owned businesses, your money is re-circulated over and over and creates up to 75% more tax revenue to our communities and state.
• Independent businesses raise the standard of living in our communities because they take profits and buy products and services from other local businesses thus creating more tax revenues needed for our communities to thrive.
• Carefully planned predatory pricing practices have allowed large chain stores to establish virtual monopolies as they drive local competition out of business. And then they raise their prices.
• When you shop online with out-of-state companies, it doesn't contribute one dime to the local economy. All of the revenues generated from those sales are taken away from our local communities and from our great state of Arizona.

EAR has been paying corporate and property taxes in Arizona since 1977 because EAR is locally owned and operated and has been a proud part of the Southwest for over 30 years.
