Green Drinks Charleston, a local social organization that brings like-minded, environmentally-oriented folks together, is bringing Carrotmob to Charleston. Carrotmob, which has chapters across the US and internationally, tries to identify green businesses and then reward the one selected as the most environmentally conscious by encouraging its membership to go to that business on a chosen day and shop or dine.
