Why haven't we heard of Carrotmob before?
Check this out. A couple of times a year, an organization called Carrotmob asks a bunch of cafes or bars in a specific area (this time, Duboce Triangle), to pledge to make socially responsible decisions. The business that makes the most generous pledge is rewarded by Carrotmob with a flood of customers for a few hours. So, the mob becomes the carrot. Get it? Well neighbors, today, from 2pm - 5pm, Carrotmob's target is Duboce Park Cafe. Because the good folks at D.P.C. have pledged to invest 50% of their profits towards greening their business. Fifty percent! That's a lot! So if you're out enjoying the sunshine at Duboce Park today, swing by the Cafe and buy something. It'll not only fill your belly, but make a local business a little bit greener. Besides, how often do you get to say you were a carrot for an afternoon?
