	Richmond Green Drinks March 20, 2008 5:30-7:30 pm The Camel 1621 W Broad St   Richmond (map) Thanks again to Tom Griffin, coordinator of  Virginia Green for the Department of Environmental Quality, for telling us about their program for greening Virginia's restaurants during the Feb. Green Drinks. I hope that all y'all have told your favorite restaurants about the program and encouraged them to sign up. It will also be great to track the pilot program announced at Green Drinks for commercial composting that Ellwood Thompson and U of R are testing. * This month is we'll have our running theme of "just talk to each other" night. You can also talk to yourself. As long as it moves us forward to a sustainable future. And there is a lot to talk about! Let's be sure to talk about how the CIty of Richmond is moving forward. * What is Green Drinks? Every month people who work in building and environmental fields meet up for a beer at these informal sessions. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. Look for our website at the international organization - greendinks.org.
