CONvERsATION for CONsERvATION
It's a fascinating experience to start the greendrinks event at our village-base. It was aknd of giving new blood to our old networks of environmental activists, open new perspective for new comers and we had a chance to move forward for actions with more peoples involved.
some friends already said that the would like to come for the next events, and bring more peoples.
conversation for conservation will be our next month's tag-line.
and we will talk about the result of bio-pore holes being made as the commitment from our 1st event.

Green Drinks at Woka Lounge
Thursday January 28 2010
choose a date, not a day!
Hi
We have found at Waltham Forest Green Drinks that having a date rather than a day is a really good option so that the day of the week changes.
We also have 2 meetings a month - so we meet on the 1st and 15th of every month. This is partly because we were a bit over eager to get going, but also so that people don't feel they miss out too much if they miss one Green Drinks and lose interest/forget! It's also nice having meetings on different days of the week which have a different vibe.
It works really well. We have between 10 and 50 people every meeting, more at the weekend.
Sue, Waltham Forest Green Drinks, London.

Green Drinks Leeds - Drinking Green in 2010!
Green Drinks Leeds is changing day in 2010 - after the confusion of alternate 4th Mondays and 3rd Tuesdays, and the subsequent double-booking with a lapdancing class, we're moving to a settled (though hopefully no less exciting!) 4th Wednesday of the month.
The next Green Drinks Leeds is on 27 January from 6pm, at The Brewery Tap, New Station Street, Leeds
¡Unete a nosotros!
Pronto estaremos anunciando fechas para el 2010, si trabajas en ecologÃa, urbanismo, sustentabilidad, o simplemente te interesan estos temas y vives en Monterrey, Green Drinks es un lugar para ti. Únete y aporta tus ideas, entre todos podemos construir algo mejor.

Eco-Tips for a Waste Free Holiday

A Waste-Free Holiday
Why we care
For most Americans, gift-giving is an integral part of the holidays. But all that gift-giving creates
a lot of waste. Americans throw away 25% more trash than usual between Thanksgiving and
New Year’s, and half of all the paper America consumes is used to wrap and decorate consumer
products. Excess packaging, wrapping paper, and even unwanted gifts can all end up in the
landfill; yet 70% of Americans say they would welcome less emphasis on gift giving and
spending.
Simple, positive change
Precycle:
• Minimize store-bought gifts by drawing names, making your own, or giving services. See
www.newdream.org/holiday.
• Choose classic products that will last over time. Avoid plastic and battery operated toys.
• Stay away from foil wrapping paper and foil-lined envelopes that cannot be recycled.
• Use decorative, reusable bags or the Sunday comics and colorful yarn for wrapping gifts.
• When placing a catalog order, tell the company you want no more than one catalog a year,
and ask it not to share your name.
• For entertaining, use washable dinnerware instead of disposables. If you don't have enough,
borrow or rent.
Reuse and recycle:
• After opening gifts, flatten wrapping paper, roll ribbons onto toilet paper rolls, and store for
later use.
• Recycle your Christmas tree (call Metro for instructions, 503-234-3000).
• Take packaging peanuts and bubble wrap to a mail service shop, non-curbside plastic to Far
West Fibers, and block styrofoam to Total Reclaim or Recology (Pacific Land Clearing).

COP15 Green Drinks -- Twice!
Anders Knudsen who organises Copenhagen has decided to make two Green drinks events in December, namely the Tuesdays 8th and 15th @ 17.00. See
http://greendrinks.org/index.php?country=Denmark&city=Copenhagen for details. The bar is centrally located and just next to the NGO part of the climate summit, so these sessions should be a blast!
