Reply to "Keep it Local!"

This is a great topic. We just saw a clip on "Veselka" last night on TV and have never been. A lot of the other shops mentioned in the segment had closed (Love Saves The Day, and the video store next to Trash)so we hoped it was still open. We're SO there next time we're in the EV.

We found a really interesting case of a group taking this idea one step further. A group called CarrotMob who do "Reverse Boycotts" on businesses. They did one here in Park Slope for family owned Tarzian Hardware because they were putting 22% of the days profits towards energy improvements and making the store more "green."

We thought this was a GREAT concept, and very easily reapplied to other local shops/causes.
