Victoria

Well it is finally here!
Carrotmob 2.0 Victoria is just around the bend and is picking up some serious press along the way.  Josh will be on CBC Radio in the morning tomorrow to discuss the day’s events and carrotmob in general.  The Martlet has graciously put us front cover with an intense action shot, and Monday Magazine has us on their home page, story number 1!

I’m pleased to say that our Facebook group has grown rapidly in the last few days and both Carrotmob -Victoria group and Carrotmob – Wannawafel event have some exciting numbers behind them.

In Saanich??
Well, be at the UVic bus loop to catch the 3:20pm bus to the Parliament buildings with some of the mob.  The mob will leave from the Parliament Building steps and head to Wannawafel at 4:15pm.
I will be hanging out at the Parliament at 4, so if you live in town, come drop by!

Hope everyone can make it out to support the idea that business really can be sustainable!

Wannawafel is located at 560 Johnson St. at the entrance to Market Square.

Hey Everyone,

I have just created the ultimate, you’re in or out, facebook event called Carrotmob – Wannawafel.
Check it out and make sure you join so that you get all updates to come.

Start by joining our FaceBook Group, then join the Event and your in!

Things are coming together fast! We have recently received a bunch of fully biodegradable sisal sacs from Level Ground Coffee which are left over from their deliveries.  Our plan is to use as many of these sacs as possible and turn them into costumes and paper alternatives.  It’s new for us too!

Stay tuned!

All Mobbers!

After talking with the crew down at Wannawafel we have decided on a date to Mob. March 12th.  We are looking for as many people to come out as Victoria has to offer. Wannawafel has put forward 100% of the days revenue to make their business more environmentally efficient, and this means WE MUST ALL EAT!

There are two types of waffles and plenty of variations of toppings.  And of course if you are not a waffle person, come out for a juice, pop or coffee and give that days beverage purchase to a company that wants to be completely self sustainable.

This is the chance to have a tangible impact on changing how businesses operate.  There are NO third party payments, NO secondary donations, NOthing except for direct support of Wannawafel to make changes they need to make to become GREEN!!

Check out the business @ Renaat at Wannawafel

Well that was fast paced and very eventful!
Carrot Mob 2.0 is well underway and now with a clear winner with over 66% of the votes cast this weekend.  Thank you everyone who voted and thank you everyone that will be coming out to the event!!

We are getting the specifics organized as I write and after talking with Renaat at Wannawafel, I can tell this is going to be huge! There will be prizes, music, entertainment, and some very tasty eco-friendly (getting friendlier) waffles.

A big thank you for all the businesses that took a shot at trying to get mobbed.  Without Mo:Lé or The Joint, it would not have gotten to the point it got to this weekend.

Please stay tuned as we update the blog with news about the event and stay on track with our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Get your mobbin’ faces on!

The Joint Pizzeria

Wannawafel

Well the last few minutes were an intense battle, and in the end, it was a tie between The Joint Pizzeria and Wannawafel with both bidding 100% of the days revenue! Let’s not forget Mo:Lé who was a fantastic entrant into the bidding starting it off with 25%.
WOW, what a finish!

Victoria is truly ready to be put on the Canadian stage and show what it has to offer.  Stay tuned as tomorrow video interviews with the two businesses and a Poll which will allow YOU, the mobbers, to vote on which business you want to mob will be posted.

Well done again to both The Joint and Wannawafel!

Closing up!

Only a few minutes left and WannaWafel has shot up the mark to an incredible 75%!

Well done guys,

Who will it be??

The next step forward has come with the Joint Pizzeria bidding 70% of their revenue to sustainable improvements!

Well Done Guys!
I’m looking forward to see what the others have to say about this…

Here we are in the final hours until the cut-off for bids!

All the businesses have been fantastic so far and have shown our team that there is some real commitment towards making Victoria a staple for environmental stewardship in British Columbia.  Everyone is excited to see where the next Carrot Mob will take place and from the sounds of it, each business has a solid following of fans.

The businesses that have cast bids so far are:

Mo:Lé –  with the strong first bid of 25%
The Joint Pizzeria and Deli   – followed quickly behind with a doubling 50% bid.
Waffles to Go - currently the leading bidder at 55% of the days revenue!

T-minus 3.5 hours!
Go visit your pick and let them know you are behind them!
