Can a New Year’s Indie Resolution Change the World? The Folks from the East Bay Express think it can! The Resolution: “I resolve to increase my support of independent businesses and artists, and I will put my thoughts, actions and dollars behind my local community.” The Reward: By making the Indie Resolution, you are creating a healthier, more thoughtful, and stronger community, economy, and life for yourself. The Incentive: A chance to win $5800 in local gift certificates! Why $5800? Fifty-eight percent more of your money stays in the community when spent at local, independent businesses rather than out-of-town chains. Think about every dollar you spend, and how you can circulate it here, in your community. How to Participate: Email your name and mailing address by 1/31/09 to Indie@EastBayExpress.com. You will receive an Indie Resolution Journal in the mail in February, along with info on how to identify a local, indie business. Each month, make at least one journal entry of what you did to support the theme of the month. You will receive a monthly email that explains the theme, and makes suggestions for activities. At the end of the year, mail your Journal back to the Express by 12/31/09, and you will be automatically entered into the drawing.
