San Francisco Green Drinks
May 4th
“Spring into Action”
Hello Green Drinkers!
Please join us next Tuesday, May 4th for San Francisco Green Drinks!
This month at Green Drinks we are celebrating the coming of the Spring season, a time of new beginnings and new opportunities to “Spring” into action. We are asking our members to look at what they are doing to improve the environment. Awaken from your winter slumber to network, inspire, and share action-oriented opportunities with one another. Or just come for a FREE organic beer tasting and tell us about your Earth Day!
Our question of the month is: How are you taking environmental action?
Green Drinks is your hub for connecting with our environmental community!
May Sponsors: Ecohaus & Earth Island Presents…
Ecohaus has been offering eco-friendly building and finish materials since 1992, and now we are open in San Francisco! Our model of sustainability incorporates consideration for the environmental, health, and local impacts of the products we choose to carry. Come see our complete selection of sustainable cabinets, flooring, paint, insulation, dual flush toilets and more at 9th and Bryant or online. A beautiful home. A better world. We make the connection. www.ecohaus.com
Earth Island Presents… encourages environmentalists, academicians, business and community leaders to collaborate together to engage the public in an open forum by sharing the most thought-provoking environmental issues of the day. Earth Island Presents… is honored to invite the San Francisco Green Drinks community to our inaugural launch on May 20, 2010 for Lyman vs. Niman: Can You Be a ‘Good Environmentalist’ and Still Eat Meat? To thank SFGD for their support, any member of the community that registers for the May 20th debate at the May 4th Green Drinks will receive a coupon good for one free organic drink at Gather Restaurant. Don’t miss Lyman vs Niman! Beginning in May, continue to join us every Third Thursday at The David Brower Center as we grow environmental activism one story at a time. www.earthisland.org/events
