You can reduce your carbon footprint by using mass transit, driving shorter distances, and walking to make your purchases in Alexandria. Everyone can help in many ways by keeping their dollars in Alexandria.

"As we navigate an uncertain financial future, it is critical to support our local businesses and government with our business," said Alexandria, Virginia Mayor William D. Euille.
