GREEN DRINKS

No, we're not talking about one of those bottles of superfoods you see at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's (although they are quite tasty...). Green Drinks is a gathering of eco-conscious people at various bars and restaurants around the world, usually held on a weekly basis.

At last count Green Drinks parties were being held in over 300 cities worldwide and the NYC holiday version a few weeks ago drew over 900 people and the attention of CNN. If your city hosts Green Drinks make it a point to stop by one evening and hobnob with likeminded folk. If it doesn't, why not be the one to inaugurate it there? All it requires is a bit of initiative and a few greenies like yourself to get started.

Here in Los Angeles, Green Drinks rotates between four locations: Culver City (1st Thursday of the month), Hermosa Beach (2nd), Silver Lake (3rd) and Studio City (4th). Sponsible.org is going to make it a regular habit of attending at least one Green Drinks per month and updating sponsible readers on some of the ideas exchanged during these fun, inspiring events.
