This is an event for environmentally-minded Brisbane professionals who meet for a monthly drink. An excellent way to:
• meet like-minded people
• make friends
• learn about interesting projects / organisations from around the Brisbane area
• discuss and collaborate on projects
• stumble upon 'eureka' moments

Essentially, the aim is to be a social think-tank with the environment as the common denominator. Green Drinks are agenda-free and non-politically aligned (read more). Individuals from businesses, not-for-profits, government and academia welcome, as well as those with personal projects!
