Join the mob
Local mom Audry Crane is looking to form a mob (not the kind that have been showing up at town hall meetings on health care reform howling about “death panels”). Read on …
I’ve been thinking about this Carrot Mob idea (if you don’t know what it
is, check out the long-but-funny video on this page.
Basically, organizers find a business who’ll agree to contribute some
percentage of their profits from a specific day to making improvements
towards creating a “green business”. Then organizers spread the word and get lots of people to show up and buy stuff on that day. When the dust settles, the business does as it agreed and puts in environmentally- friendly improvements (new lights, insulation, whatever).
I love this idea, I love that it’s win-win and it’s measurable, and I
think Durango would turn out for something like this.
I contacted the organizers and they think it can work in a small town.
I’m looking for 2-3 people who would help me make this happen.
Anyone interested? Email Audrey audcrane@gmail.com
