The next Green Drinks gathering is happening this Thursday, April 14th at The Red Avocado (521 E. Washington St.) beginning at 5:30 pm.
At the March gathering, we talked about a variety of issues, including the farm bill and the new bill which would transfer water quality monitoring from the DNR to the Dept. of Agriculture. We also talked about farming in Iowa, including ethanol plants and the price of corn; year-round farmers' markets, Prairie Preview, composting and more!
At the April gathering, we will be talking about Earth Day events, including Eco Iowa City's EcoFair at the downtown rec center on April 22 from 3-6 pm.
Green Drinks is an international organization in 789 cities worldwide. Iowa City Green Drinks, one of 8 in Iowa, meets every 2nd Thursday. Everyone is invited to join this informal group for food and/or beverages while discussing a wide range of environmental issues (and ideas) in the Iowa City area. Green Drinks is a great way to connect with other local environmentally-minded people.
