Every month people interested in environmental issues meet up for a drink at networking events known as Green Drinks.  Its a chance to mix with other like-minded people, share information and make friends. Many people have found employment, developed new ideas, made business connections and had moments of serendipity.  Its a force for the good and its spreading to over 600 cities around the world.

The NYC Chapter began in 2002 by Margaret Lydecker, a long-time sustainability advisor, who set out to meet and mix with environmentally-minded people after relocating to New York.  The first official Green Drinks meeting took place at The Half King in July of 2002.  Every month since the group has grown and expanded and every year our mailing list has doubled.  Today Green Drinks NYC hosts monthly events for 400+ environmentally-minded New Yorkers and has helped expand the global network to over 600 cities world wide.

We continuously seek out ways to best connect people with issues / ideas / services together and are open to innovative ideas to do so.  Your monthly contribution make these events possible by covering operational expenses, staff time, office rent, expenses related to website, hosting, database management and more.
