No, not the nasty March 17th green beer, nor the greenwashed Budweiser variety: I mean Green Drinks, the green social hour phenomenon now in 197 cities worldwide…

Today marks one year that the Orion Grassroots Network has been hosting drinks at a local microbrewery once a month, and it’s great fun. Member organizations of the network come by so we can catch up on their programs, green designers and architects turn up, college profs and their students shuffle in, too. It’s a great opportunity to interact in real time with the people you know or should know, and it’s the face of your (future) sustainable community. Your town in the list yet? Check the Green Drinks site. If not, all the info is there to start your own chapter. Cheers!
