So I'm reading my first issue of Time, that I ordered as a school fundraiser for Galia. And there's this good news article I want to share.
"The first Carrotmob took place last spring in San Fransisco after [Brent] Schulkin solicited bids from 23 convenience stores in the city to find the one that would promise to spend the highest percentage of Carrotmob profits on more evergy-efficient lighting. On the appointed day, hundreds of enviro-minded consumers swarmed the K&D Market and spent more than $9,200 at the store, which then fulfilled its pledge to plow 22% of the revenues into greener lighting--enough cash to make all the improvements recommended by an energy auditor."

And there's this great photo of a long line of hip 20-somethings on the phone and just hanging out waiting to get inside. So cool!
