This is an amazingly fantastic idea.

This is genius!

would've definitely come if I had a clue that this was happening! genius idea!

I love this. What a positive way to bring about change. The video is also great. Interested to see if this spreads.

This is a great idea.

Superb. The capitalists aint gonna like it tho'.

Yeah this is awesome. :-)

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it! @Bill, it is my opinion that this may be the first environmental activist group that "the capitalists" DO like. The tradition is to attack business, boycott them, sue them, pass regulations that they don't like, etc. Instead we're using "the market". It's an opportunity for them to get rich, you know? The Carrotmob model is something that everyone from Ralph Nader to Milton Friedman would be down with. I hope. Don't you think?

Wow that was ridiculously...FANTASTIC! :)

The video was great, the idea is great, the concept is great. Fantastic!!!! :)

brilliant idea.

Congratulations on thinking outside of the box and thinking on a larger scale than your own personal efficiency. This is a brilliant idea. Say hello to someone who will be keeping up with your efforts.

Love the idea...hey i would love to do a documentary on helping out for the world if you guys ever in florida give me a shout out!!!!

this is absolutely brilliant. bravo! i hope this starts to spread. i would love to try to do something similar here in denver.

Awesome. Touching.

This is a great idea superbly put in action. It motivates everyone!

This is just incredible!

Sf represent!! great idea!!! NO NO GREAT IDEA for change!!

I like this idea. It must be done in every country, every city. Brilliant video, also.

brilliant!

I can't wait to be there for the next campaign!

This is so fantastic. I hope this gets huge -- I'd love to be a part of it.

Exciting stuff!!

This is amazing! You speak about the power of business ... but I think this also speaks to the power of the people. Excellent work carrotmob.

omg this is a capital idea!

win.

This really is a fantastic idea. I know it's still a small movement, and that this was the first attempt at a larger scale operation, but I want to point out a few things in order to help it become more fruitful and environmentally friendly...

1. Bring your own bags. Don't use the plastic ones at the store.

2. Buy recycled goods or items with containers that have the potential to be recycled after being used. Plastics with a number "1" or "2" on the bottom is a good guide.

3. DO NOT BUY ANY BOTTLED WATER. Even though the bottle can be recycled, the amount of money that goes into the production of this item is wasteful and the method is harmful to the environment.

I commend this movement for coming up with a positive way to reward businesses for switching to a more eco-friendly business ethic.

Spread the word and let's make a change!

Brilliant! I'd love to see this applied to many cities around the globe!

I posted your vid on my green design blog and have received some great e.mails about it already:

Global warming is not the greatest threat civilization has ever known; that being said, good video, good idea.

I absolutely love this! Using free market forces for environmental good rather than fighting them.

I would actually like to start a Carrotmob - Chicago chapter on Facebook so we can get in on it too. I thought I'd ask first, though.

The power of the people for sure. How about teaching the airline industry a lesson, or the oil company. A few organized no fly, no drive days.

this is abs a youtube-style movie.

ALEX MILLER, I agree that global warming is not our civilization's greatest threat...humans are. Ironic, huh. Guess who creates global warming...humans. This is a fantastic, non-technological, non-governmental, non-antagonistic (for the most part) solution. Goes to show what a little organization and some conscientious people can accomplish. Get this movie out to colleges! I'm going to spread it around Middlebury College in VT (which is going carbon neutral by 2016, by the way).

Loved the video.

UPDATE: carrotmob knows about good options for toothbrushes but was making a point. I can't help but recommend things no matter what. it's just what I do.

Brilliant idea!

But 23 liquor stores in one neighborhood? Seemed more like a convenience store to me.

nice!

Great idea! I'm going to try this in Vancouver!

win

I would see if whole food market would do it.

amazing concept and video

excellent

fantastic, my dad is an envirnmental energy consultant here in the UK, is anyone championing the cause here?

craig

where can I join??? thats amazing!! great idea!

Awesome Concept!

There should be one day that would be designated as a Carrotmob Day - where events like this happens on a nationwide scale. That would be something.

And not just the US. The UK, Europe, Asia... it can happen anywhere.

This concept has tremendous scalability. Very Exciting, I hope to be apart of this kind of effort in my hometown, and hopefully very soon!

Well thought out. I love it!

i love this . . . its a very simple way to make a big impact for change

genius. thanks.

{also great video}

Sweet!!

I think I'm going to set something like this up in The Netherlands. I love the idea!!

Consumers FTW!!
Environment FTW!!

Brilliant Idea!!!!!!

I would love to innitiate something like this in my country!

Nice. I've tried the "dollar vote" thing individually for years to no avail. Good to see people coming together to make it work. (Great vid, too.)

Awesome idea! Hopefully it's gonna be big in Helsinki.

This is a phenomenal effort! I love it. Thank you!

Nice work - I look forward to carrot mob's booming success and the model ideas it will certainly spawn.
Like the video says, it is the power of the people/ dollar that moves government/ corporations; not the other way around.
What a great idea!!

smug alert!

Great idea guys. Hope it grows in Europe as well.

I don't know how many times I have watched this video...Thanks for the inspiration! We did our own carrotmob in Charleston - vimeo.com/5369949
Much props for a great idea. Huge success.

Just great idea, seriously!
I would love to try this idea here in Switzerland, since the Swiss are so such a environment awareness.

Corporate greed is huge problem, but instead of trying to change other people's values, whatever you may think of them, this is a great way to get everybody on the same page. Profits don't always have to be destructive.

I'm the filmmaker relative that David Lee mentions at about 02:23, which is followed by a clip of my feature film Undoing that is so ridiculously out of context. David is my cousin and that store K&D belongs to my uncle (my dad's brother)!

This concept is a fantastic idea, and the video is friggin hilarious! (although, I think the music video interlude is too long, haha). Can't wait to see what develops with Carrotmob!

This was fabulous!

love the idea !! *carrot up*

FAntastic!

where do I sign

WOW! This is totally amazing! This is huge like Johnny Cupcakes phenomenon! Too bad the other businesses missed out on their contributions their sales would have really helped them WOW!

I the video you said 22% of what they buy went to environmental improvement but it is actually 22% of the profit on what her sold. Grocery products have extreme small margins (around 1-3%) so sales have to be HUGE to for sizable amount.

I love the idea and the results, it's true that we as the consumer can make an impact one store at a time.

Excellent job on the video!

Brilliant! I'm going to see if we can get the ball rolling here in New Zealand! Fantastic work guys :)

So greaaaaaaaattttt!!!! You are fantastic! Go on! I'd like to make it as well here in Europe! I'll send you an e-mail to see how i can organize!!! :)

I can't find your e-mail :)
Can you send one to me?

I work for the Belgian Biodiversity Platform and I'd love to launch a carrotmob project here in Belgium! Please contact me!
Thx

Fantastic. would like to start something here in Maui. Any other success stories to share I'd love to know about. Agree that the feature film clip serves no purpose. and too long on the $$ flying around... I'm a filmmaker too.

The KYA Sustainability Studio and The Wine Stop Hawaii are proud to announce the FIRST CARROT MOB in Hawaii.
