Our State is Drowning in Waste. Economic Waste.
A staggering $47 Billion leaves North Carolina every year when we shop at national chains and online giants.
This economic leakage starves local businesses, kills downtowns, and creates logistical waste from long-distance shipping. Meanwhile, local non-profits face funding gaps and volunteer shortages, creating social waste.

This isn't sustainable. There's a better way.
