About Seattle Greendrinks

Part of the international Greendrinks network, Seattle Greendrinks is a volunteer-driven non-profit created to connect and grow Seattle's environmental community. Founded in 2003, Seattle Greendrinks' main event remains an monthly informal social networking gathering. However, in 2008 Seattle Greendrinks began to broaden its mission, acknowledging the need for more deliberate, targeted efforts to grow and activate the environmental community beyond its traditional core. Seattle Greendrinks now offers a number of events, including Fresh!, an intimate, informal evening of wine & chocolate tasting; Bloom, a speaker-focused event highlighting innovation in sustainability; and the Agent Green program, in which the consumptive power of the crowd helps businesses reduce their environmental footprint.

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: to create a space that fosters connections and 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, who remains immensely proud of how the organization has taken a central role in growing Seattle's environmental community. Outside of Seattle Greendrinks, Gabriel founded and is CEO of Agent Green as well as being founder and principal of Re-Vision Labs, a social innovation consultancy. He previously founded Sustainable Capitol Hill and sat on the board of Sustainable Seattle.
