“Green Drinks is a program designed to meet the intellectual and social needs of Door County residents and visitors who yearn to discuss important issues about our local economy, our environment, and our social condition within the larger context of sustainability,” says Ann Hippensteel a volunteer with Sustain Door.

Participants are encouraged to bring a discussion question to pose. The open-format meetings are for anyone who is concerned about local living economy, environmental preservation, social justice, community building and other green topics.

This month’s topic: What role does the business sector of society play in achieving sustainability? Participants can give their thoughts and opinions. Other questions will be asked throughout the evening.

“We are excited to be hosting Green Drinks at Glas. We strive to find new ways for the coffeehouse to be green so this is a perfect match for us,” says Meghan Riordan, manager of Glas. “Sustain Door looks at the bigger picture of eco-friendly efforts, so it goes hand-in-hand with our mission at Glas.”

Future Green Drinks meetings to be held at Glas are scheduled for Tuesday, February 23, Wednesday, March 24, Tuesday, April 27 and Wednesday, May 26.
