ORP
Our event sponsor is the Oyster Recovery Partnership, a non-profit that makes a big difference in the restoration of the Bay. Over the past 20 years ORP has planted more than 5.9 billion oysters on 2200 acres of local oyster reefs. And now it has entered into a new project to help sustain not only the oysters but the men and women who work the water. Come to Green Drinks to hear the big announcement about the Old Line Fish Company.

We will have a lot of information for you at Green Drinks on ways you can live, work and play in a way that cares for our planet. It's spring... a perfect time for new beginnings including how we relate to the Earth that sustains us. 

And take action! There are lots of volunteer opportunities in our town, including GreenScape this Saturday. See our calendar.

If you have any info to share about YOUR Earth Day activities, please bring it to Green Drinks.

Come meet one new person and learn one new thing (at least one of each)! And don't forget to bring us your natural corks for recycling!
