Did you read the article about the Carrotmob in the Vancouver Courier today? Jeremy Shepard wrote a great article about the group and what they’ve been up to, including an interview with Carrotmob Vancouver founder, Omar Mutashar.
“Omar Mutashar, the founder of the Vancouver branch of Carrotmob, hopes the first swarming of a local store May 16 will attract at least 200 extra customers to Salt Spring Coffee on Main Street.

Omar also made it clear that this may be the first Vancouver Carrotmob, but it won’t be the last! Judging by the response that they’ve received from community members and other green-minded businesses and organizations, there is a lot of support for this event.
