If you want clean water, ACT!
We hope you'll join the many volunteers all over the Chesapeake watershed this weekend who will participate in Project Clean Stream -- picking up and digging out trash from our shorelines. It's going to be great weather to get our hands dirty. More info is below.
In the meantime, we sure to save the date for our next big Green Drinks gathering.
Monday, April 22
5:30-7:30 p.m.
400 Sixth Street, Annapolis Live Music by Kevin Kelley This edition of Green Drinks -- held on Earth Day -- will have multiple themes having to do with sustainability and stormwater treatment! We're delighted to be returning to The Rockfish, where Green Drinks Annapolis began on February 2006. ThemesCommercial Recycling
 Our event sponsors, the 2013 Flagship Class of Leadership Anne Arundel, will introduce its Commercial Recycling awards -- to be presented in June. The public will be invited to nominate a business that stands our for its commitment to recycling and a waste hauling company. Details will be presented at Green Drinks.
Stormwater Retrofit
 Our partnering organization, the Spa Creek Conservancy, and our hosts, The Rockfish, will present information about the long-awaited retrofit of the restaurant's paring lot to control stormwater runoff into Spa Creek. The Conservancy was awarded a grant to design a stormwater retrofit for the restaurant's large parking lot. The design includes porous concrete, rain gardens, air conditioning condensate collection, rain barrels, and other features that will lead to a cleaner Spa Creek. The restaurant will match the grant funds that will be obtained for construction. After several years of resolving permitting and other issues, the project is scheduled to begin this summer. It will be a model project in the Eastport neighborhood in the City of Annapolis.
Annapolis Beer Week
 Green Drinks coincides with Annapolis Beer Week,a fu n week of diverse beer-related events that will support area charities, our community and local businesses while featuring craft beers. Green Drinks is one of the week's events - featuring organically made or local beers - and Annapolis Green is one of the benefiting non-profits!
