Organically-aware people meet at Green Drinks
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at
informal sessions known as Green Drinks, where a lively mixture of
people from NGOs, academia, government and business get together to
shmooze, socialise, and discuss green events and business ideas .
These events are unstructured, but many people have found employment,
made friends, developed new ideas, done deals, and enjoyed the
serendipity. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and
making new contacts.
