"In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with several of his green design colleagues when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born."  -Joel Gershon, greendrinks.org

Fifteen years later, the concept now called "Green Drinks," has planted roots in cities worldwide.  In each city an individual or group acts as coordinator, orchestrating the time and place for the monthly gathering.  The meetings are generally held in a popular bar, coffee shop, or restaurant, and are open to anyone to join.  Discussion may be focused on a particular regional issue, or whatever comes to mind that day: from global warming to building insulation to plug-in hybrids.  "But while different cities spawn different types of meetings, the common thread is fun."
