Sharing a brewskie with like-minded “green” folks
Just an FYI if you happen to live in Toronto: A group called Toronto Green Drinks meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month for drinks at the lovely Bedford Academy at 36 Prince Arthur Avenue (near my old stomping grounds at the University of Toronto). Anyway, anyone interested in chatting with other greenies and cleanies about related issues and technologies should drop by. I’m hoping to make it out one night.

Thanks for the reminder Tyler. I keep on missing this night, but will attempt to make it this evening. Keep an eye out for a younger guy with a name tag that says “Jon” on it – and say hello. I’m sure the name isn’t that common.
I think it is great that Toronto has such a strong green community. I am only starting to realize it now that I am livng in the city center.

I agree, and from what I understand it’s a fun bunch. I couldn’t make it out for May but plan to be there for June.

I figure that there were about 80 people in attendance. Enough to make it standing room only on the second floor. There also seemed to be quite a bit of diversity in the group. Everything from people involved in animal rights to those who were spearheading programs to save Toronto’s dwindling natural habitat. I will have to go back next month.
