It was a Solar Spectacular!

green drinks annapolis  

We gathered on Sept. 9 to dedicate Killarney House's new solar array and learned so much about solar power and how much good it can do for businesses and private homes.

A big thank you to Killarney owners, Anthony Clarke and Michael Galway, for being such terrific hosts and examples for the community. In addition to the solar investment, the Irish Restaurant Company is a shining star in environmental practices. | read more | We encourage you to patronize Killarney House, Brian Boru, and Galway Bay to support their efforts -- and enjoy great food, drink and atmosphere too. 

Thanks also to Ken Stadlin and company from Kenergy Solar for sponsoring Green Drinks and for giving "tours" of their solar installation at Killarney.  | read more

AND... a big thanks to EVADC member Curt Harpold for bringing his Tesla Roadster! It made such a great Green impression and pumped up Killarney's owners' interest in providing an electric vehicle charging station! (If you have any interest in EVs, read the sidebar!) 
 
AND... at Green Drinks we toasted to the fact that owner and installer met at Green Drinks!&
  
AND... at Green Drinks we raised a glass to toast the fact that WNAV had just aired the 100th edition of Living Green in Annapolis! Yes, Elvia and Vic have been on the air every week for two years.
Have a look -- and a listen to all the past shows -- at annapolisgreen.com/radio.

Now we're looking forward to the next Green Drinks. See below.

October Green Drinks

Thursday, Oct. 2 
5 - 7:30 p.m.
(starting a little earlier than usual)
Eastport Yacht Club
317 First Street, Annapolis 

We are delighted to partner with Eastport Yacht Club's Green Team to present Green Drinks during its J/80 World Championship regatta. The Club is working hard to have this event certified as a Gold-level Clean Regatta by Sailors for the Sea, the same organization that Greened the last America's Cup. That means that a lot of best practices are being implemented -- all to the benefit of the Chesapeake Bay. EYC asked us to participate under our REF program (Responsible Events & Festivals... Make the Right Call!) and we are bringing in recycling and composting. With their new very eco-forward Club house, EYC will be using this week to pilot both full-scale recycling and composting. We congratulate them!  Read about EYC's environmental stewardship practices.  

As part of Green Drinks, sailor, explorer, and environmentalist Matt Rutherford will speak at 5 p.m. about his adventures and his Ocean Research Project, to measure pollution in our oceans. Don't miss it! Matt is a compelling speaker! There will also be a short presentation by Sailors for the Sea.

We'll have more details for you soon, but save the date and be sure to get there by 5 to hear Matt!
