What is Green Drinks?
A casual monthly gathering for anyone interested in sustainability issues. The drinks aren't green but the people are!
There's no agenda or other formality - it's just a chance to meet regularly to chat, debate, socialize and connect with others in Vancouver who are passionate about environmental and all things āgreenā.
Vancouver Green Drinks is NOT directly associated with the Green Party or any other political, corporate or government groups in any way (although they are more than welcome to comeā¦and they do).
We are not even an organization ourselves, simply an informal gathering coordinated by a few individuals. Kind of like a big house party for greenies, but without the house!
Environmental Commitment
How does it work?
Come on in, grab a name tag (or better yet, bring your own) and feel free to approach anyone. There is usually a sign-up sheet if you want to join our listserv.
Not sure how to start? Donāt worry, most people donāt know anyone else when they arrive. The most common method is to buy a drink or some food up at the bar and then randomly start listening in on whatever conversation is going on in the room. Eavesdropping and lurking are socially acceptable at Green Drinks! Feel free to say hi to anyone and everyone and try to talk to different people each time you come. If thereās something in particular youād like to discuss please say the word. Most people wander around the room but there are tables with chairs for those who prefer to sit.
We want Green Drinks to as inclusive and welcoming as possible so if you see anyone looking a bit daunted or lost just give a quick āhelloā and invite them over to join in your conversation. Youāll be glad you did.
Social Commitment
We come from all ages, backgrounds and groups and everyone with an interest in sustainability is welcome. Green Drinkers represent non-profit organizations, academia, government, small business, big business, self-employed, volunteers, students, concerned citizens...and everything in between. Whether you're keen on green building & design, sustainable energy, organic gardening, or something else entirely, you'll find like-minded people.
T-shirt or a suit, come as you are. You donāt even have to drink to be a Green Drinker!
Average attendance ranges from 50-100, with new people stopping in every time. You never know what interesting folks are going to show up; itās different each month.
Green Drinkers are welcome to display cards, brochures, info sheets, posters, magazines and newsletters on the table at Green Drinks. However, we must insist that you bring no more than five and take them all away when you leave.
