Dear  Sustainable Tompkins,

Here is an idea for a "Local and Sustainable  Coupon Book" which could
benefit local businesses, non-profit  organizations, and Sustainable Tompkins
as a  whole:



Hi Ryan,
 
What you are describing is very similar to the promotions run by BALLE  
(Business Alliance for Local Living Economies) affiliates when they launch their  
Buy Local campaigns.  The Green Resource Hub is looking into becoming a  BALLE 
affiliate, and we are sending a couple of reps to the national  conference in 
Boston in June.  AFCU is helping us with this and they are  sending someone as 
well.  
 
So, maybe a local sustainable enterprise coupon book will be in our near  
future!
 
Gay
