ABOUT GREEN DRINKS NEW WEST Meet up with others concerned about our common future! After a little break, Green Drinks NewWest is back. Our aim is to bring together an informal gathering of community activists and environmentalists who meet, discuss, and get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Each GreenDrinks has a theme, with an informal presentation, to help participants feel connected and inspired by an issue. If you would like to share your business cards, brochures, info sheets, magazines and newsletters with others, please put them on the designated table for people to view in their leisure. If you bring them, please also make sure to take whatever is left when you leave. GreenDrinks NewWest is hosted by members of the New Westminster Environmental Partners.
