Green drinks

I finally made it to a green drinks bash last night, encouraged out of my sustainable social shyness by Mel. I returned home the proud owner of a Totnes pound, the currency used in one of the leading Transition Towns - the current exchange rate is 95p. There were about 60 of us, from beardies to suits, campaigners to capitalists holed up in the basement of a (very cheap) Soho pub. Barring the aforementioned Mel I met two fellow green hacks, a contingent from the climate camp, a CSR expert at URS, a pair of design and branding bods, an assistant buyer at Topshop, a lady from a world music record label and a Finnish man called Albert who we unfortunately were unable to understand very well - I think he was talking about wind turbines. The chat? Sustainability in a downturn, fuel cells, General Electric, Big Brother, Georgia (the country), are website more or less sustainable than print? eel-skin bags, summer music festivals and celebrity stylist Gok Wan Read. I think I'm going to give the Tower Hamlets one a stab in the autumn - I'm told it's more intimate but I've got the bug now.

Hi Phil - now you have the bug, you should try and make it Green Monday on the 8th September. A little different but still a great gathering. It's invitation only as we have limited space so let me know if you would like invite.
