statement and why Linking Words

will reduce the cost and contribute to the environment.

First
of all, if more stores were willing to sell food from other local wholesalers, it would reduce the value of ingredients. It would be easier to obtain and produce foodstuff in a quicker time frame even without paying for items overseas. Linking Words
For instance
, Linking Words
instead
of purchasing goods from other countries which would require them to be transported by plane or train. These costs would have to be included in the total rate of the items when they sell to their customers.Linking Words
Therefore
, stores should go to local farmers and wholesalers and buy the quantity needed which will reduce the price since the travel time is less and cheaper.

Furthermore
, when they decide to sell more locally produced products, they Linking Words
also
reduce the fuel emissions that have a negative impact on the planet. Linking Words
For example
, by reducing the amount of food they receive from other countries and by using planes and trains less frequently the emissions would reduce by 67%. That would not only make a big impact on our local farmers but Linking Words
also
on the planet.
In conclusion, if they would decide to sell more local produce, they would be able to lower the price and at the same time the crops, animals and humans would grow and live healthier lives.Linking Words
