Thriv’Able Special: Buy Local in NEO (and Anywhere Else)

Contributed by Rick DeVan on July 2, 2010 at 6:36 pm ET

Resource: Take the Buy Local Challenge during Buy Local Week, July 3 – July 10.

This is a great idea for Northeast Ohio and anywhere else you may live, IF you keep in mind that the big-box national/international retailers and restaurants also employ your neighbors and contribute to the local tax base.

Don’t forsake one neighbor for the other.

Thriv’Able Special: Visualize The Oil

Resource: Visualizing the BP Oil Spill Disaster.

Admittedly, this isn’t “Thriv’Able”, but it does help us visualize the size of the disaster. Centered on my home town of Willoughby, Ohio, the oil would stretch from Toledo to Buffalo and cover all of Lake Erie. That’s as of today.
