find out what positive things are happening in St. Louis
share what you know and do
learn what you can do to green your own lifestyle
connect with like-minded people
or even find a job/an employee
Part green chamber of commerce, part happy hour, part support group – our gatherings feature panel discussions, films, or tours of local green places. Green Drinks typically happens monthly at Schlafly Bottleworks. We have new faces every time. Events have drawn an intimate group of 30 to crowds of more than 300 – it just depends on the topic and location.
