With the topic of green and eco-friendly on everyones minds right now we thought it was a great time to show what Canada has to offer in ecotourism. We’ve constructed a comprehensive guide to ecotourism and green travel options, along with sustainable travel advice and lots of other useful, practical and in many cases - cost saving - tips. Visit the Green Travel Guide for more information.
I finally made it out to a Green Drinks event in Gastown, Vancouver yesterday.
Green Drinks is:
Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up for a beer 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.
I found the networking fun and very relaxed. A great place to meet people from all different backgrounds and also, if you are new to networking, this is probably one of the easiest groups to get together with.
