Locallectual :: A Geolocative Locavore Community www.Locallectual.com Locallectual is an online locavore community where locavores, localvores and localtarians
from around the globe can go to find products made close to home. This
web portal serves several positive purposes based around local
purchasing and local economies.
- Locallectual will help consumers lower their carbon footprint by providing them with a geolocative directory of
companies and products searchable by region. Excess fossil fuels can be
conserved by avoiding shipping goods cross-country that one can
otherwise find down the street, in turn providing cleaner air. Buying
local also helps keep one's tax base "in-house," applying them to local
roads and schools instead of supporting a Delaware-based
mega corporation. For every dime you save at the megaplex, your local
taxes can be raised up to a dollar to make up for the
infrastructure funding losses.
- Ecopreneurs -- business
folks that want to obtain more resources closer in proximity -- will
also find the company index by region searches to be very helpful.
Registered members can create private or public areas that could serve
geolocation based information for Customer-to-Customer,
Business-to-Customer, and Business-to-Business.
- The locality-based online community is a place where you can others can share information about locatecture.
Subscribe to the RSS blog feeds to find out the latest in socially
responsible product offerings. Members can post questions in forums to
engage in locacurious conversations, ranging from save the planet to ethicureanism.
- Join or create a community based around your own local region. Invite friends, start calendars, or begin your own local food movement .
