When I buy local, its things that are created in the area (usually those ma and pop places, but I live in Indiana, so I suppose there's more of them here). Like local produce, or my Subaru. The reason? I try to prevent those extra shipping emissions from harming the planet if they don't absolutely have to. I'd be interested in comparing the emission levels of B&N vs. Amazon- hard to tell with large entities like those. If I have to pay an extra $13 for instant gratification AND to prevent global climate change, then it's totally worth it. Not so much for me, but for my children's children. And those polar bears. I have a blog too, it's new- http://cucumberwater.blogspot.com Interesting that Barnes and Nobel can now be considered local.
