Bellingham's first carrot mob a SUCCESS!

Thanks to everyone who attended Bellingham's first carrot mob event last night, April 28, at the Horseshoe Cafe / Ranch Room! We congratulate not only the Horseshoe for their important decision to start recycling containers, but to all of you who came out to support the Horseshoe and exercise your consumer power.

Bellingham's First Mob: Tuesday, April 28, 5-8pm!

Did you know that there are bars in Bellingham that don't recycle?

Surprisingly, there are eight! For this mob event - Bellingham's first - we asked these eight bars if they were interested in winning the "mob" of eager, paying customers. Several waste audits later, our victorious winner has emerged: The Ranch Room / Horseshoe Cafe! Through its commitment to start recycling containers, The Ranch Room has justly won the mob. So join us on April 28 to give this bar a big "kudos"...

Mark Your Calendars! April 28, 5:30-8:30pm

About CitizenCarrot

"CitizenCarrot: your change brings our business."

What is CitizenCarrot?
CitizenCarrot is a Bellingham network of consumers who buy products in order to reward businesses who are making the most socially responsible decisions.

How does it work?
Participants in CitizenCarrot (ie, consumers) flock on an organized date to a business that has committed to making a socially responsible change in their practices. For example, a bar might commit to starting a recycling program. Businesses are rewarded for their commitment by what they want most: customers and sales.

How can you get involved?
Anyone can contribute. All you have to do is remember the date of the next CitizenCarrot event, and show up to show the business of choice your gratitude!

Businesses: Interested in winning the mob?
We target many different kinds of businesses. If you are interested in winning the mob and you think your business would be a good candidate, please email us at citizencarrot@gmail.com.
