The Cultural Shift to Sustainability and the Importance of Local.

There’s a lot of really great, hard data here, packed into a concise presentation. If you’re a small business owner, you don’t always have access to this kind of research.

This presentation by Kierstin De West of Conscientious Innovation (Ci) contains tons of relevant, recent data about what consumers think about when they think about sustainability and ‘buying local’.

Kierstin played a video by League of Gentlemen at the presentation. As it turns out, the wrong clip ran at the time, but through the magic of the internet, you can see the one she meant to show here. It is hilarious.
