Theme: Learn Something 

 

The theme this month is the most serious issue facing planet Earth: Climate Change.   

 

Educate yourself about climate change now. Click here to watch the first episode of Years of Living Dangerously, free, online. It's a series, starring Harrison Ford ad other celebrities and produced by James CameronJerry Weintraub and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a good introduction to how climate change affect us all. Watching this will be one of the most eye-opening 59 minutes you'll ever spend.

 

At Green Drinks we'll have folks who have been trained to discuss climate change issues including John Murray of the Climate Reality Project. We'll have more information on this for you soon on our website.

 

Event Sponsor: Get to Know Them & Say Thanks! 

 

This edition of Green Drinks is being sponsored by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN), the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Its mission is to build and mobilize a powerful grassroots movement in this unique region that surrounds our nation's capital to call for state, national and international policies that will put us on a path to climate stability.

 

Event Host: Eat, Drink & Say Thanks!  

  
Green Drinks' host, the Loews Annapolis Hotel and WEST Kitchen & Tavern are both partners of Maryland Green Travel. They have instituted many sustainable practices including recycling, water conservation, minimizing disposable food service items, waste reduction, and energy efficiency, among others. Read more.

 

Meet New People: Network & Have Fun

 

Green Drinks strives to bring the environmental message to new audiences so everyone is invited to attend, make connections with like-minded people, and learn something new... and it's fun! The event is free with a cash bar and no RSVP is required. 

 

Don't miss it!
