Save Those Oyster Shells!
 
Restaurants, caterers, and seafood wholesalers can recycle their oyster shells through the Oyster Recovery Partnership's Shell Recycling Alliance.

Now you can recycle from home too through CBF's new program, Save Oyster Shell. One of the collection centers is right here in Annapolis. Donate your empty shells so CBF can recycle them into more oyster reefs and repopulate the Bay with more oysters. Oyster shells are literally the foundation of reef restoration efforts!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 25

at Crush Wine House

5:30 - 8:30 p.m.*

Our first of the year ... and a biggie it could be!

We're inviting our friends attending the 17th Annual Maryland Environment Summit to join us for an After Party! Since we conveniently picked the same day for Green Drinks, we invite everyone to "continue the conversation" a few blocks away at Crush.

Our raffle will include a wine tasting for four at Crush! Just $5 per ticket.

 

*Starting at our usual time of 5:30, we'll extend Green Drinks a bit because we want to encourage all of you to attend the  Summit (5 - 6:30 p.m.) being held just down the road at the Miller Senate Office Building, 11 Bladen Street. 
 

This Annual Summit is when the Maryland environmental advocacy community unveils for state legislators its top three legislative priorities for the 2011 Maryland General Assembly session. Because one of the top three is passing a bill that will allow for offshore wind power in the state, our theme for Green Drinks is alternative energy for your home and business, including wind.

The summit is a great opportunity to connect with other concerned citizens, learn more about wind and other environmental policy issues, and show the legislators who attend that there is broad support for a strong environmental policy agenda in 2011! Then head over to Green Drinks -- just down the street! Read more about the Summit and sign up to attend. We'll be there too.

 

You can flag down an ecruiser for a free ride from the Summit to Green Drinks at Crush.
 

114 West St

In addition to a fabulous list of organic beverages, our hosts at Crush will surprise us with yet-to-determined sustainable appetizers. Do remember that Crush DOES serve terrific dinners and they will offer us both specials and Green Drinks discounts, so the conversation can go on even longer! In fact, Crush is offering us a 15% discount on dinner and bottles of wine, tomorrow only.
 

While thrilled at the crowds we attract these days, you all know the challenge of communicating during our good green networking events! Yet, committed to keeping local eco-issues and messaging alive and well, we will continue to use our creativity to figure out the best method. This month when you arrive, we'll give you a rack card with our theme and message to take away. You can read that at your leisure and follow up with more info on our website. Or, read it on the spot and discuss it with other Green Drinkers!

 

Use Facebook or your own network to spread the word about a terrific double-header tomorrow! 

 See you then!
