Turku

Hi again from the sunny Turku. The spring has arrived here and life is good again after a long foggy winter. Turku Carrotmob has taken a break after a succesfull event and are now in the “planning stage”. We’re wondering what to do next and when to do it.

There’s been a talk of organising an event in a food store, but it’s in veeery early stages.

Actually we have an interesting system here in Finland when talking about the distribution channels for food stores (and they’re owners too). There’s only two finnish ones KESKO and S-RYHMÄ, and they control about 99,95678% of the entire market. That means it is very much harder to organize an event into food store here, than pretty much anywhere else… but we Cmobsters are not quitters!

Summer is arriving, and that might also mean there’s not going to be any big activity within Carrotmob as most of us are on our summer leave. But i sure am going to tell if something happens before it. Keep up the best work all around this planet of ours and keep commenting this blog (thank you everyone who’ve already done so!).

Peace,

Jari, Mobster in Turku
