GREEN DRINKS

An organic self organising network...online AND offline.

Green Drinks...all over the world!

Green Drinks International

Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.


We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.


These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It's a force for the good and we'd like to help it spread to other cities. Contact your local node to get the latest info about coming along.

If there is no Green Drinks near you, you might want to set up a Green Drinks in your City.

Indian sugar firms seek higher ethanol prices

In India, new developments on the subcontinent include a warming to oil companies not to fail in meeting the E5 ethanol blending mandate, and a request from sugar producers for a higher fixed price for the ethanol they are providing to meet the mandate.

The sugar fims have indicated that the fixed $1.73 price negotiated in 2006 is too low, given rising global sugar prices.
