Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.

They have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. 

Just say, "are you green?" and they will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.

These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It's a force for the good and they'd like to help it spread to other cities. Contact your local node to get the latest info about coming along.

Forums are set-up in the following international countries:

Algeria | Argentina | Australia | Belgium | Belize | Brazil | Bulgaria | Cambodia | Canada | Chile | China | Colombia | Costa Rica | Czech Republic | Denmark | Ecuador | Egypt | Finland | France | Germany | Greece | Haiti | Hong Kong | Iceland | India | Indonesia | Ireland | Israel | Italy | Japan | Kenya | Latvia | Lebanon | Lithuania | Malaysia | Malta | Mexico | Morocco | Netherlands | New Zealand | Norway | Paraguay | Peru | Philippines | Poland | Portugal | Qatar | Romania | Russia | Singapore | South Africa | South Korea | Spain | Sweden | Switzerland | Thailand | Turkey | UK | Ukraine | United Arab Emirates | USA | Vietnam |


If there is no Green Drinks near you, you might want to set up a Green Drinks in your City.

How it all started
In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with his green design colleagues Yorick Benjamin and Paul Scott when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his own eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born.

The concept evolved into Green Drinks and now it's global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and it has since spread across the world. See www.greendrinks.org for the latest city count and a list of countries. Each city has an organiser who arranges meetings in bars and restaurants (often with organic or vegetarian food), relays information via email, and facilitates discussions.

The spirit of Green Drinks is that anyone can come, and this makes for interesting interactions.

There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new links and learn and argue and set up new schemes and get new jobs etc, it is a good feeling.
