This is brilliant. I am excited to see where this Carrotmob takes us. Be part of this cultural-economic tilt-a-whirl on April 22nd when Carrotmob comes to Seattle. According to Seattle Greendrink’s Gabriel Scheer,
Seattle Greendrinks has partnered with the Pike Pub & Brewery to produce Seattle’s first Carrotmob-like event! On 22 April (Earth Day), from 4pm until close, at least 20% (since posting this has increased to 25%) of all sales at the Pike Pub will go back into the store in the form of energy retrofits and other improvements to improve the pub’s efficiency, reduce its waste, and more; in short, we’ll make it a greener pub. Come out & join us – drink & eat and help this great local business reduce their environmental footprint!
