to Green Drinks for the Chesapeake Bay!


Hello Green Drinkers and welcome to all newcomers ...


April Green Drinks
Our Second Annual Green Drinks for the Chesapeake Bay
and a call to action

Thursday, April 22, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Severn Inn, 1993 Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard, Annapolis
and throughout the watershed

On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, Green Drinks chapters throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed will come together for the second annual Green Drinks for the Chesapeake Bay to concentrate on action our grass roots movement can take to influence to legislation and government regulation to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay -- while having fun with our eco-awareness, of course.

Last year was our first time bringing together the watershed Green Drinks groups to support the Bay. We collected hundreds of letters in support of the Bay that were presented to the EPA's Lisa Jackson. Over 1200 people joined in at the 16 participating locations with over 215 of us in attendance in Annapolis! Now we're taking it up a notch and need your help. We hope you can join us on Earth Day (even briefly) but even more important -- help us with our call to action. It's easy, takes a moment and ... it's for our Chesapeake Bay.

Annapolis Green Drinks and Virginia Beach Green Drinks are the at the helm of the coordinated "toast" and call to action, with each Green Drinks group from Pennsylvania to Virginia meeting simultaneously on the 22nd each in its respective location.

The effort also is an attempt to top the Green Drinks world attendance record of 1800 people, currently held by a group in Melbourne, Australia.

Green Drinks Annapolis is returning to the Severn Inn for its event, where we hope to top last year's single group attendance and the watershed-wide number of 1200 that we gathered in 2009!

Call to Action

The Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act of 2009, now working its way through Congress, has been called by many the last, best hope for restoration of our national treasure. We are going to use the powerful grass roots networking of Green Drinks to help move this bill along to passage.

We Green Drinkers will add our unique voice to the fight for restoration of the Chesapeake Bay by enlisting our colleagues, friends and family all across the country to obtain votes for the bill's passage in Congress - and we'll have fun doing it too!

The Chesapeake is as important and wonderful a national treasure as the Grand Canyon, the Smoky Mountains, the Badlands of South Dakota, the Everglades or Death Valley. It is tied directly to our early history as a Nation, and it is the largest estuary in the country. It is the heart of our local heritage and it is dying. Also, this legislation is important to all Americans because it will impact other bodies of water too.

Pass this on and bring your friends to Green Drinks!

Use the handy forwarding link at the bottom of this email to send this message to your friends and colleagues so they'll know about this call for action and our event on April 22. We've got a powerful network in Green Drinks. Let's use it and join together in support of our National Treasure!

What is Green Drinks?

Green Drinks is a monthly (more or less) get-together that gives the environmentally minded a chance to get to know one another in a fun, informal way facilitating connections and working together for a common cause: The Health of the Chesapeake Bay. We are apart of an amazing international group, greendrinks.org, with over 600 like us all around the world.  Of course, we think our Annapolis crew is the best!  Try visiting other groups while you're on the road.  And, it's truly not about the drinks ... those who don't drink alcoholic beverages are welcome too!
