PICTURES OF OUR PAST GREEN DRINKS EVENTS 

 

 

 

On Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, 2009, Green Drinks chapters throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed will come together to stage a same-day gathering in their respective cities, attempting to top the world attendance record of 1,800 set in Melbourne, Australia, and to rally support for action to improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  Many participating locations will be partnering with local non-profit groups on awareness of their locale’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed.  Growlers will be a Gaithersburg Green Drink's participating location. 

We expect this to be the world’s largest gathering of Green Drinks! 

That night, we will launch a letter writing campaign, partnering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s campaign of letters to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson asking the EPA to enforce the Clean Water Act for the benefit of the Chesapeake Bay. 

  “Green Drinks has come up with a unique way to make Earth Day really count for the Chesapeake Bay and have fun at the same time,” said William C. Baker, president of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “It's so important that all of us let EPA know that we demand they get tough on pollution. CBF commends Green Drinks for their participation in speaking out for clean water this Earth Day and showing their commitment to saving the Bay.”
