1. Carrotmob Bar Confirmed!!
Shotwell's has confirmed their commitment to using 25% of profits from the Carrotmob on October 24th for environmental retrofits. We had a great competition with 4 bars bidding over each other!
Originally we were focused on the Mission, but after receiving outside interest from bars with sustainability commitments in other neighborhoods, we decided to open it up. The other bars (in addition to Shotwell's) that have all shown outstanding commitment to going green are Mojito, Hemlock, and The Page.
As most of you know, this event is in conjunction with 350.org Day of
Action to fight climate change. Find out more about them here.
Our goal is to have mobbers send out 350 tweets about the event to get as many supporters out as we can! Here are the details of the event for the tweets:
What: Shotwell's Carrotmob
Date: Saturday, October 24th
Address: 3349 20th Street
(between Folsom St & Shotwell St)
Time: 6pm to 9pm

TWEET AWAY!!!
Reminder: Drink responsibly for you and the planet! -
2. Get ZeroWasted Pub Crawl Success
The Green & Tonic Get ZeroWasted Pub Crawl was a huge success! We raised $516 for the Carrotmob winner and over 100 people attended!
As one crawler said, “It’s so awesome, I get to drink $2 solar powered beer!” Thanks to Carey at Doc's Clock for providing us this deal along with Anderson Valley. Also thanks to Don at Casanova and H at Eilixir for opening up their bars to us and offering amazing green drink specials. -
3. Mojito's 4th Anniversary: Going Green!
Mojito turned 4 years old and they're celebrating their anniversary on Oct 14th, 15th, and 16th. They decided to theme their party "Mojito Goes Green." Green & Tonic appeared at Mojito tonight at 11:30pm to support their efforts to go green. They have recently started composting and use compostable/biodegradable products.
What they're doing NOW:
Composts and recycles!!

Disposes of toxics appropriately - works with Sirona Fuels for Vegetable Oil Pick-Ups
What they would like to do in the NEAR FUTURE:

What they will aim for in the FUTURE:

YAY Mojito!! Big kudos for their efforts! -
