from carrotmob.com
"Carrotmob is a method of activism that leverages customer power to make the most socially-responsible business practices and also the most profitable choices. Businesses compete with one another to see who can do the most good, and then a big mob of consumers buys products in order to reward whichever businesses made the strongest commitment to improve the world. It is the opposite of a boycott."
