November 3rd
“The Story of Impact”
Gobble Gobble Green Drinkers!
Please join us next Tuesday, November 3rd for San Francisco Green Drinks.
The “story of impact” takes many turns. This December, we look to our leaders meeting in Copenhagen to write a new story of impact in the form of legislation and history. Our November sponsors, Earthjustice and WorldofGood, have written their own chapters in the story of impact. These two socially conscious organizations are heading up two raffles during our November event! Prices include t-shirts, copies of the award-winning book Justice on Earth, and personal interview with an Earthjustice lawyer!
Be sure to check out SFGD’s Calendar! Come by and post an event on November 3rd!
November Sponsors Earthjustice and WorldofGood
Earthjustice is the nation’s leading nonprofit environmental law firm, dedicated to preserving our natural heritage, safeguarding our health, and promoting a clean energy future. Earthjustice represents - free of charge - more than a thousand nonprofits and organizations in court, from national organizations like the Sierra Club, NRDC and the American Lung Association to local community groups like the Oakland-based Asian Pacific Environmental Network. Their cases have made a big impact on people’s lives, from protecting the national parks that they visit to cleaning up the air and water in our communities.
WorldofGood.com by eBay is the world’s first online multi-seller marketplace to convene thousands of socially and environmentally responsible products all in one place, empowering you to shop in ways that align with your personal values. Respected, independent organizations verify the positive impact every product has on people and the planet.
For the first time, WorldofGood.com will also hold its own in-person event on November 18th, giving interested consumers the chance to mingle with local sellers and trust providers from the marketplace. The event will feature food, drinks, and product giveaways.
