GREEN DRINKS DETAILS:

Every month people who are interested in environmental issues and topics meet up for beers at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity.

WHEN: Every first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm

WHERE: Ecotrust Building, 721 NW Ninth Avenue; directions:
