Green Drinks Salt Spring
“Green Drinks” is a monthly social and networking mixer hosted by Transition Salt Spring (TSS) that’s open to everyone. Held most months except June, July, and December on the fourth Thursday at 5-7pm.
TSS (aka “Transition”, not associated with our local thrift store named “Transitions”) is part of the global network of local communities moving to reduce our carbon (fossil fuel) footprint by localizing our sources of food, energy, and transportation to make our community more resilient in the face of possible disruptions from climate change, economic and/or political disruptions.

We are thinking globally and acting locally!
This is a family-friendly event (note: Penny’s does serve beer and wine, and child care is not offered at this event) and all are welcome.

Green Drinks International
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.
We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you’ll be made welcome. Just say, “are you green?” and we 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 we’d like to help it spread to other cities. Contact your local node to get the latest info about coming along.
If there is no Green Drinks near you, you might want to set up a Green Drinks in your City.
