Carrotmob Hits Chicago Aug. 9th!
You say you want a revolution?
Put your money where your mouth is. Join a reverse boycott – or “buycott” – of a local business that has committed to greening itself up. When you join Carrotmob Chicago Sunday, August 9, in giving Fox & Obel the business, a portion of the ka-chings will go toward making the store more energy efficient. And energy efficiency means less use of precious natural resources and a healthier environment for everyone.
It’s about offering a carrot, instead of wielding a stick, for the good of the planet.
Carrotmob is a bunch of consumers who buy stuff to support businesses that make socially responsible decisions. It rewards good businesses instead of punishing bad ones.
Join the mob!
Event details: Mobbing Fox & Obel Market, 401 E. Illinois – near Navy Pier, Chicago, noon – 6pm.
