Description

We're going to have a Carrotmob in Durango!

If you don't know what Carrotmob is:
Businesses compete with one another to see who can do the most good, and then a big mob of consumers buys products in order to reward whichever business made the strongest commitment to improve the world. It’s the opposite of a boycott.

It’s easier to understand if you look at an example. In the first ever Carrotmob event, a liquor store agreed to invest in upgrades that made their store more energy-efficient. In exchange, hundreds of Carrotmobbers showed up at once to support the winning liquor store. Here's a video of that campaign, and the mayhem that ensued:

I think Shaw Solar deserves some recognition.

Whups -- sorry I should have updated this. For April, we decided to do the UNICEF Tap Project instead. Carrotmobs are hard work!

We're planning the next one to coincide with 350.org's next international day of action, on 10/10. Let us know if you know a business that might want to bid on it. We know that Cocina Linda and Ponga's are both very interested...
