Beyond the tastes, we can see the other benefits from local shops on our San Francisco Tours. We see how these shops benefit the community around them by helping to form neighborhoods. On on San Francisco Food Tours, we only visit locally owned shops. Just like we only enjoy local foods on our San Francisco Culinary Tours.
Whenever the economy has challenges, each of us faces challenges. We can answer those challenges by doing what seem to be convenient or we can choose to do what helps not only our neighborhoods, but other neighborhoods, as well. Simple acts, such as making the effort to purchase clothing that is made sweat-shop free. Just like on our San Francisco Tours, we find that purchasing products that minimize exploitation of others doesn't cost anything more, it just means going a couple more blocks to go to a local store or ordering clothing from firms that are sweat-shop free. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we know everyone is benefiting from what we are doing. Just like when support exploitation of others we support our own exploitation, when we make the effort to support others in our community, as we do on our San Francisco Culinary Tours, they support us.
The choices we make now will determine what remains when the economy recovers. On our San Francisco Tours, we try to make the choices that will result in local shops surviving in the long run. Just like on our San Francisco Food Tours, all of us can make those choices. Some may think that the efforts that we make on our San Francisco Culinary Tours are a drop in the ocean. However if enough of us make those drops, the rising tide will lift all of us.
