Green Drinks Dublin 1st May 2012

Green Drinks is a simple idea that's gone global. Once a month in 797 cities around the world people with an interest in green issues get together to chat, share ideas and raise a glass to a brighter future. Dublin Green Drinks is on the first Tuesday of every month and is organised by www.leafliving.com and www.iwt.ie. If you would like to hear about future events, please join the mailing list by emailing greendrinks@leafliving.com

This month come and hear Mindy O'Brien from VOICE speak about the establishment of an National Food Bank to eliminate food waste and provide relief for those in need.

Food waste has a major impact on the environment through lost energy, CO2 and Methane emissions and water consumption, with tonnes of good edible food discarded by food shops, supermarkets and catering establishments daily. Internationally, there are 1 billion people starving and over 1 billion tonnes of food wasted annually.VOICE are looking to link both the environmental objective of reducing methane-releasing food waste from landfills and the humanitarian objective of feeding the hungry.

Come along, have a pint and chat to people who share an interest in green issues.

Time and Date: First Tuesday of every month, doors open 18:00
Meeting Point: Top floor of Messrs Maguire, 2 Burgh Quay
