Green Drinks, the loosely organized and phenomenally successful international meeting group for green people of all walks of life, is starting up its first chapter in the Middle East.
That’s right folks: Be a part of history on Monday night (Dec. 15) as Green Drinks TLV holds its inaugural event at the Gilda pub on Ahad Ha’am Street, starting at 8PM.
Open to the public, just walk in and ask someone: “Hey, are you green?” (You might want to try it in Hebrew: “Shalom, ata/at yarok/yeroka”), and you may find yourself engaging in a potentially very interesting conversation with all kinds of people who share your passion for the environment –– from the tie-wearing politician or clean tech professional all the way to the professional activists who hang out at Salon Mazal.
Who knows, maybe you’ll strike up a new business deal or find the love of your life at one of the regular meet ups?
Seeing that Israelis are far more susceptible to over-eating than over-drinking (should there be organic hummus?), Green Prophet is not really worried about scraping someone off the floor. But TLV does know how to party. Thanks to Green Drinks, we’ll have a few more environmental partiers out on a weekday. And maybe we’ll make the world a little better while we’re having fun.
For more information please visit the Green Drinks TLV Facebook group.
