Devi Kim
This common and economic sense is often overlooked by people who worship imports, brand names and overseas holidays.
Buy 'made in Thailand' would keep Thais working (rather than buy imports which would keep machines and robots working) and keep our hard earned money in Thailand and make our economy grow.
Buy 'local produces and local products' would help people in our community to earn a living and cut down wastes and transport costs. When local people in local community have income, then they are happy and we get to live in a happy environment.
We may not make everything we need. But we can help to create jobs in our local community -- buy local.
Happiness is watching Nature grows ;-)
