What's Brewing in Eugene: Vote for Eugene's Greenest Coffee Shop!


Here's something really cool that you can be a part of. The Eugene Carrotmob is hosting a competition between three Eugene coffee shops where we, the coffee loving consumer, get to vote and decide which business we think "..will do the most to save energy, buy locally, recycle, waste less, compost, educate, support the community". Then, after the votes are tallied we all "mob" the winning shop with our collective patronage on a specific day to support them for their efforts to become more socially responsible in their business practices. Carrotmob is a great concept, not only helping local businesses to become more socially responsible in their business practices and creating incentive for them to make changes, but organizing consumers, getting us involved, empowering us to influence change with those we do business with through positive reinforcement. So check out the short presentation videos of each featured coffee shop, Perugino's coffee shop, Gary's Coffee shop and Eugene Coffee Company, and cast your vote online! You can also see which shop is ahead in the poll. Here's the link to Carrotmob Eugene: www.eugene.carrotmob.org. And remember to visit the winning coffee shop between 9am and 12 noon on Halloween- Saturday, October 31st to show your support. See ya there!
