Join Maryland Department of the Environment Secretary Robert Summers as he presents the 2013 Maryland Green Registry Leadership Awards and announces the total annual environmental results and cost savings as reported by all Maryland Green Registry members. Annapolis Green is a Maryland Green Registry Member too.
The Maryland Green Registry is a free way to promote your business or organization, save money and demonstrate your environmental commitment. Collectively, members have saved over $65 million annually through sustainable practices. The Registry is a part of Governor O'Malley's
Maryland Smart, Green & Growing initiative.
This month's host site,
The Westin Annapolis, is a member of Maryland Green Travel, a companion program to the Maryland Green Registry for the tourism industry. The Westin was one of the state's first Maryland Green Travel Partners.
Read the Westin's Maryland Green Travel profile. It also is a newly designated Bronze Level
Trip Advisor Green Leader. The hotel also lists its sustainable practices, "Make a Green Choice," right on its website -- everything from saving water to participating in the
Global Soap Project. |
Read more about this very Green hotel. The Westin and the Maryland Green Registry will provide sustainable appetizers in the new Annapolis Ballroom and the cash bar will include Maryland wines, in recognition of
Maryland Wine Week, June 14-24.
Mills Fine Wine & Spirits will be joining us too (as new members of the Maryland Green Registry) in showcasing these terrific home state wines.
Adding to the festivities will be some great live music by a wonderful young band that is turning heads in Annapolis, the
Walking Sticks. Two of its members, twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst, just happen to be brand new graduates from the University of Maryland with degrees in Environmental Science! And yes, business people, they are looking for work in their field! Max, Spencer and Chelsea Lee deliver strong vocals that weave through a pulse synth soundscape. Performing both covers and originals, you'll absolutely love this band!
You'll have the opportunity to meet many businesses that operate in a sustainable manner -- and they are looking forward to meeting YOU, our Green Drinkers! Let's show the folks from outside our city some Naptown hospitality!
Read more about the agenda for the evening on our website.
This edition of Green Drinks will run a little bit differently. Our sponsoring organization asks that you RSVP if at all possible (The bonus is you get to see who's coming!). If you can't, then we'll be glad to see you at this free event -- but RSVP if possible by clicking here.
