How does a Carrotmob work?
A Carrotmob is an organized consumer group making businesses listen to our money. The idea is to get businesses to compete for our dollars by demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship . We approached tons of restaurants/bars/brewpubs in downtown Boulder and asked them what % of their profits from the 10/10/10 After-Party they would be willing to put back into their businesses for energy efficiency improvements.

To learn more about how a Carrotmob works watch this short video or read this previous Elephant Article.
