Summary:

In Byrnes Brian’s article, he described that the production of farm, such as organic vegetables, cheese and wine, need to be a good price. Because of this reason, there comes a plan named “Carrotmob”. Carrotmob is a global movement that has been used in many countries. The farmers use the Carrotmob to improve the income, but they also need to spend more cost on the farm production. However, the seller who use mob will get more profit. There are about 55 different cities have Carrotmob now, and all of them are becoming more friendly to environment. In the article, the author also says that Carrotmob may not popular for people who are not rich. Many Latin American cities are still poor, the people who living in there have not a good thinking about green thinking, especially the young people. So the Carrotmob cannot be popular in the whole world now. At the end of the article, a shopkeeper who sells who sells marinated organic olives says that he earn 50% more money than before, and the author says Carrotmob becomes a big business.

Reaction:

The article looks like to recommend the Carrotmob to the world. Like other new high technology invention, Carrotmob cannot be accepted quickly. The good news is that some places do this business well. I think people could like it, because there are more and more people have enough money to live, and they become to spend their money to keep them to be health, so that they will buy the Carrotmob things. I believe that Carrotmob is good for environment too, because it needs a good environment to make the production well and nature. In another word, they can’t use agricultural chemicals or chemical fertilizer. Therefore, agricultural pollution problem can be a good solution. So, I think we young people should study the knowledge about green thinking, and we also should keep using Carrotmob productions.
