Buy local (or not)?
The internet is changing our lives. I believe the internet is an opportunity for our local businesses.
Do we even know which businesses are near us? Would we buy more local products if we could find them?
This Guardian article on Stay local - and freshen up your supply chain has some ideas. Could we do something similar here?

I have found the following local organisations:
- GrooVees are a local buying collective - "using bulk buying power to save us all money".
- Bude has a food assembly.
Have you used them? Should we promote their use?
