North Adams Green Drinks North Adams Green Drinks is a very informational gathering, open to everyone with an environmental interest. The drinks aren't green, but our conversations are. Every month, on the second Wednesday, the group gathers for "Green Drinks" at the Freight Yard Pub in the Western Gateway Heritage Park for casual gathering of environmentally inclined folk talking about anything from wildlife crossings to recycling, wetlands to weatherizing. At about 6:30pm we will have a short presentation on a hot environmental topic. For more information about North Adams Green Drink, contact Bruce Winn at BEATBruce@thebeatnews.org or the number listed above. |
