GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Every first Wednesday, the staff of Orion magazine brings together scores of folks from around the area to discuss all things green.
The monthly gathering of the Great Barrington chapter of the international Green Drinks group is a casual and free-form conversation that takes place at Route 7 Grill at 999 South Main St. from 5:15 on. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 1.
The theme will be "Transition — Moving Away from the Fossil Economy," featuring the local chapter of Transition Towns USA as speakers and exhibitors. All are invited to discuss the topic and to meet the people who are planning a sustainable way forward for Great Barrington.
The Transition Initiative advocates thoughtful and planned action toward transitioning to a postfossil-fuel world, one that is full of socially connected, sustainable, and resilient communities. This grassroots movement started in 2005 in the United Kingdom and the model has been adopted by 170 towns worldwide, 26 of which are in the United States.
Green Drinks is a monthly social event for folks interested in green issues and more, from education to local agriculture, the arts, business, and the ways all of those topics intersect. All are welcome to come share what they're working on and meet others active in the community.
