Yes, the inauguration is next week, but your vote STILL counts and WE need it!
Investment site Motley Fool is conducting a poll – they have identified their top 5 choices for the most socially responsible company of 2008. The article provides a little background on each company and then invites you to vote.
So who should it be?
You probably already know a lot about us, given that you are here on our blog, poking around for cool stuff. Have you checked out our most recent Corporate Social Responsibility reporting data?? If yes, then you know everything we were working on in 2008 and where we hope to go from here (if you haven’t seen it, go right to www.gmcr.com/csr!!)
BUT…did you also know that we were named one of the 10 best stocks of the last 10 years, according to Motley Fool (click here to see that article)?
And 2008 was a heckuva year for us as well, despite a very challenging economic environment - check out the press from Investors Business Daily (here) or Investopedia (here).
So who gets your vote? How about a company that’s been making the world a better place AND making money for a long time?
VOTE HERE!
Thanks,
Mike
Hurray – we won!!

Here’s the write up on our award:
Most Socially Responsible
In our first nail-biter of the evening, two well-known natural-food companies squared off. Despite a more national focus and arguably better name recognition, Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFMI) came up short, dropping the award 42% to 41% to winner Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq: GMCR).
Thanks to everyone for your help!!!

How do I get some of your stock? Love the coffee.
