Minneapolis

Good afternoon fellow Carrotmobbers,

Operation Carrotwave is going strong. Our group has traveled to 4 hardware stores and has 2 left to go today. We’ve been sidewalk chalking and gathering information on environmentally-friendly items in the stores.

At all the stores we visited today, there was an absence of programs or seminars on environmentally-friendly topics for customers to participate in. We’d love to see these shops offer something for the local community to participate in and learn more about what they can do to “green” their homes.

We found items marked as “green” at some of the locations, but greenwashing was also spotted. Carrotmobbers will be keeping a keen eye open for other indications of how much work we have cut out for us.

We invite to you to join us for the remaining 2 stops today:

4pm Ace Hardware Frattallone’s, near Downtown
5pm Welna Ace Hardware in Phillips neighborhood

Please visit our google map to see where we’ll be.
Let us know if you’ll be representing!
