New Web site matches consumers with local businesses

Growing concerns about health, food and the environment are just three reasons why a growing number of people are seeking a holistic, sustainable and healthy way of life.

Whatever a consumer's need, chances are there’s a small business out there to meet it. Holistic Local is a new Web-based directory that lists thousands of holistically minded businesses. By keying in the type of service desired, along with a ZIP code, a consumer can locate a local business in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand.

Free to use for both inquirer and the holistic businesses that populate the site, Holistic Local also lists events, courses and articles on life-enhancing and planet-saving activities organized by locality.
