[SPN-Discussion] Hoboken Carrotmob May 2 and May 3

[Andrew Lascar]

*Hoboken Carrotmob*

Carrotmob leverages consumer power to make the most socially responsible
business practices also the most profitable choices. A big mob of consumers
buys products to reward a business that makes the strongest commitment to
improve the world. It’s the opposite of a boycott. Carrotmobs have happened
all over the country, and have been featured in such news sources as the
Economist and the New York times. On May 2nd and 3rd, a Carrotmob is coming
to Hoboken. Carpe Diem, an Irish bar and restaurant, has committed to
investing 70% of all sales to energy efficiency upgrades!!! The more people
show up, the smaller Carpe Diem’s carbon footprint becomes. Eat, drink, and
be merry - and make the world a better place while you are at it!

You can show support in three ways. 1) RSVP on Facebook 2) Tell your friends
(spread the message through word of mouth or invitations on Facebook) 3)
Join the Mob on May 2nd and May 3rd!

So what’s so great about energy efficiency? The answer is it’s a huge
opportunity to lower carbon emissions. A building that uses little energy
has a low carbon footprint. Yes, they energy bill for the utility is lower
too, so it just makes sense for businesses to do Carrotmobs.
