Re-Charge Your Eco Spirit With Green Drinks!

January 14, 2010 By Lisa Grigsby Leave a Comment

greendrinkDid you resolve to be “greener” this year?  Join Green Drinks to cocktail, meet and network with like-minded individuals who share your interest in building a sustainable society and planet. On Wed, Jan 27th from 6-8pm Green Drinks will take over the lounge area at Franco’s Ristorante Italiano at 824 E. Fifth Street.

January’s Green Drinks is generously sponsored by Energy Optimizers USA and Wat-Kem Mechancial. FREE APPETIZERS!  CASH BAR.

Dayton Green Drinks is a casual social event where emerging and established community leaders network and link ideas to create a concentrated effort of positive change for our region.

They have a lively mixture of people from academia, agriculture, government, non-profits and business. Come along and you’ll be made welcome. Just say, “are you green?” and they’ll look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It’s a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there is always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.
Attendess have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It’s a force for the good and we’d like to help it spread so bring a friend along!

According to Wikipedia  Green Drinks is an informal networking event where environmentally minded people meet over drinks. Started in London in 1989, by Edwin Datschefski, Paul Scott and friends, it has spread to 51 cities in the United Kingdom, 223 in the U.S. and many more in Canada, Germany, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Puerto Rico and Lebanon. As of May 2009, there are over 525 Green Drink Chapters worldwide.  As of 15 February 2007, Melbourne, Australia holds the record for the world’s biggest Green Drinks. Over 1700 people attended an event held on the first evening of the city’s 2008 Sustainable Living Festival.
