Green Drinks Concept

Green Drinks is a space created for people interested in the green movement across all disciplines, professions or interests. It's just a great opportunity for people of similar minds to meet up and chat in an informal atmosphere.

There's no membership, it's informal and self-sustaining and you just need to turn up. It's a great way to make new contacts, catch up with those people you don't get time to see during the working day and an opportunity to unwind a little!

We have a lively mixture of people. Come along and you'll be made welcome. We will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network. We've held five great events and there are more on the way! (Check out the gallery!) Thanks for all your support!



Are you wondering how the Green Drinks initiative started?!

Well, a long long time a ago (1989), in a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with several of his green design colleagues when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born ...

Fifteen years later, the concept has evolved into "Green Drinks," and now it's global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and 36 cities in seven countries have their own so-called "nodes," which offer contact information for each city's coordinator.

Today Green Drinks is happening in 594 cities (and counting!) - including Malta! Its green, its fun!
