Green Drinks

Tuesday, June 18, 2013

6:00 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Schlafly Bottleworks
7260 Southwest Ave. (at Manchester)
Maplewood, MO 63143
314-241-2337

 


Cost: Free. St. Louis Green Drinks has been going strong since the spring of 2005. Green Drinks is an informal networking event for people of all kinds with a personal and/or professional interest in local sustainability. It’s a low-key, accessible way to

  • find out what positive things are happening in St. Louis
  • share what you know and do
  • learn what you can do to green your own lifestyle
  • connect with like-minded people
  • or even find a job/an employee
  • Part green chamber of commerce, part happy hour, part support group – our gatherings feature panel discussions, films, or tours of local green places. Green Drinks typically happens monthly at Schlafly Bottleworks. We have new faces every time. Events have drawn an intimate group of 30 to crowds of more than 300 – it just depends on the topic and location.
