A Carrotmob is where we organize a massive group of people to buy products a store. In exchange, the business puts a portion of their profit during that time towards greening their store. Last year, over 300 people came in 3 hours-- they made more than they would in 3 days. CBS came to film the event. For more info about Carrotmobs in general and last year's, visit:

We will also be switching out our plastic 16 oz cups in the near future to help us achieve our goal as a green business.

-We landscaped the outside of our store with drought-resistant plants. (Before we took over, the area was a dilapidated dirt pile with trash accumulating).
