The customer is king.

We all know that this is right. We are all aware of that. Carrotmobbing is a way to use this knowledge for a change. On the Carrotmob website you will find a definition:

“Carrotmob is a method of activism that leverages consumer power to make the most socially-responsible business practices also the most profitable choices.”

The following video explains it.

And this is how it works in real life.

I think it is a fantastic idea. In case you live in Bielefeld, Germany there is Carrotmob on 22. August. Must be fun — be a part of it!

    I did not integrate this video on 5050box because it is not in English. On the other hand no one speaks in this video and I really liked the clip so I put it on the blog.

    The text says: “Deep in our heart we all know what is right.”

    The video is a TV advertising for the German organisation Caritas.

    I know. You might think that this post has very little to do with 5050box. BUT: Although this might seem a bit pathetic I have to admit that this song never failed to inspire me. Listen carefully. MJ — R.I.P.

    I know this post has very little to do with 5050box. I know.

    But if you want to know how presidents dance this is it. Beautiful song (At Last) sung by Beyonce and beautifully performed by Michelle and Barack Obama too. Well done First Lady and Mr. President — Yes, you can.

    Enjoy.
