About Seattle Greendrinks

Part of the international Greendrinks network, Seattle Greendrinks is a non-profit that exists as a platform for connecting and growing Seattle's environmental community. Founded in 2003, Seattle Greendrinks' main event remains an monthly informal social networking gathering. However, in 2008 Seattle Greendrinks began working to broaden its mission, acknowledging the need for more deliberate, targeted efforts to grow the environmental community beyond its traditional core. To that end, in February 2009, Seattle Greendrinks proudly produced Fresh!, an intimate, informal evening of wine & chocolate tasting. In April 2009, we are excited to begin a series titled "Bloom," focused on green innovation.

The monthly social gathering remains the core of Seattle Greendrinks' work, and all are welcome to join us the second Tuesday of every month, starting around 5:30pm. The goal of our group is pretty simple: good times shared among people working in, or interested in, environmental and sustainability issues. We welcome you to join our Facebook group, LinkedIn group, and you can follow us on Twitter @seagreendrinks.

Seattle Greendrinks was founded in June 2003 by Gabriel Scheer. Gabriel is immensely proud of how Seattle Greendrinks has risen to provide a center for Seattle's environmental community, and credits the success of the event to the power and breadth of Seattle's environmental community. Outside of Seattle Greendrinks, Gabriel is pleased to have launched, with an amazing group of people in Re-Vision Labs, a community-building enterprise. He is also co-founder and active member of Sustainable Capitol Hill.
