a) Ensures that incomes earned is then invested back into the local economy
b) Reduces the environmental impact of commuting
c) Fosters community involvement
d) Preserves local employment opportunities
e) The environmental benefit of local hiring comes principally because employing a greater percentage of local workers leads to shorter commutes and a greater ability to walk, bike, and take public transit to work. This results in reductions in air pollution, including greenhouse gases.
