Green Drinks comes to Birmingham

• Nov. 2 by Natalie Adcock (0)

Birmingham is launching it’s own Green Drinks tomorrow on Tuesday 3^rd November, a monthly event where people who work in the environmental field or are concerned about environmental issues meet up at informal sessions.

The evening starts at 6:00PM at the Locanta Restaurant in St. Paul’s Square, with guest Tom Baker introduced at 7:00PM.

Tom runs food website Loaf Online which promotes food grown, produced, sold, and prepared in and around Birmingham.

Attendees will have the chance to sample some freshly baked bread made by Tom and the Locanto Reataurant entepeneur, as well as hearing their views.

Malcolm Currie of Globally Local said that the event is similar version of Café Society, where people relaxed and spoke about the issues of the day in Birmingham in the 90s. He continued:

“Green Drinks is a moden version of Cafe Society, with a focus on environmental matters but anything goes!

It’s so important for us to just talk with each other, especially with people from different sectors of society because we operate out of boxes – professional comfort zones.

Business people rarely meet with environmentalists; politicians rarely with academics; community leaders rarely with multi-national managers.”

The green networking event takes places in six hundred cities worldwide and is a place for people to make friends, find employment, develop ideas and make business deals.

Malcolm added:

“Come along; have an enjoyable evening; make new contacts; learn something you didn’t know before.

Conversation isn’t just talk; it’s a way of changing the world and perhaps together we can build a better society!”
