Green Drinks New West Time!

Posted on February 3, 2013 by admin

image001Open to anyone interested in environment and sustainability issues who wants to chat about these ideas, or who would welcome socializing with others who do. The emphasis is on connecting with others in our local and broader communities, but also challenging everyone to think globally while acting locally. The event is free, but food and drinks can be purchased by attendees.

People are encouraged to spark up new conversations with someone they have not met, and we will provide some ideas to break the ice. On Feb 7, the conversation-starter is to start thinking about possible environmental policies for the upcoming election.

Green Drinks New West is hosted by members of the NWEP. Like Green Drinks International, it is non-partisan, and supports sustainability being embraced by all political parties, organizations and individuals, and the NWEP’s membership reflects this.

For updates on this and future Green Drinks, please “Like Us” on Facebook, and check back here. If you would like to be added to our non-member email list, please send a message to contact@nwep.ca.
