New word collector Word Spy recently noted the arrival of the "carrotmob" phenomenon. Among a series of citations provided is this one, from the May 15, 2009 edition of Time magazine:
"Forget sticks, and stick with carrots instead. So says Brent Schulkin,
founder of a fledgling movement of activist consumers employing a kind
of reverse boycott that he calls a carrotmob.
The concept is simple: instead of steering clear of environmentally
backward stores, why not reward businesses with mass purchases if they
promise to use some of the money to get greener?"
