Санкт-. Patrick’s Day seems like a good time to promote an organization called Зеленые Напитки, который не a group that gathers to drink green beer. Вместо, it’s an opportunity to meet — and raise a glass with — other people who are interested in sustainability issues.

Launched informally in the UK nearly two decades ago, группа теперь утверждает, более 450 chapters в почти 50 countries, В том числе все главные канадские города.

Many members work in the environmental arena (and use the group as a networking opportunity), but many simply enjoy meeting and chatting with other folks who are concerned about green issues.

Ванкувер has an active Green Drinks group that meets regularly on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at Steamworks в Гэстауне.

Торонто‘s group also gets together monthly on the 3rd Wednesday, meeting at Бедфорд академия in the Annex.

В Монреаль, Green Drinkers assemble on the last Tuesday of the month in the Thomson Дом restaurant at Университет МакГилл.

Other Canadian Green Drinks groups meet in:

• Квебек (1ул средам)
• Оттава (2ой средам)
• Калгари (3й вторники)
• Эдмонтон (2ой средам)
• Виктория (2й вторники)
