This is a brilliant grass-roots organization and cause that it is high time for! The cause? 'Support local merchants and local economies'. It's easy, simple, and affordable: Pick three independent shops in your community that you would miss if they went under. Each month, spend fifty dollars combined in all three stores.This can include your local mom & pop grocer, bookstore, card shop, hardware store, clothing exchange, and furniture consignment shop, just to name a few possibilities. That makes it easy to spread fifty bucks a month around - you're going to buy groceries, paint, socks and birthday cards anyway, so support your local small businesses!
For more information, registration, resources, and news, visit the 350 project.
You can even purchase swell merchandise to advertise the cause at Cafe Press!

**As per a request in a comment from Linda, I've changed the title of this post to use numerals rather than words for the phrase '3/50 Project'. Sorry 'bout that, had no idea.....**
