Green Drinks: SE Michigan

The third Wednesday of the month is the regular meeting time for Green Drinks in southeast Michigan at Leopold Bros. in Ann Arbor. This was actually the second Green Drinks of the month, because a special Green Drinks Pub Crawl was organized in conjunction with the Remodel Green Conference last Friday.

The Michigan Green Drinks combines with the o2 Network because the membership of the two groups has so much overlap. This month's Green Drinks had about 15 people atttending over the course of the evening. There is not a set program for the evening. Rather, it is just an opportunity to meet like-minded people.

Discussions (that I was part of or was able to overhear) included industrial ergonomics, supply chains and materials for the auto industry (there have been a number of current and former designers from the auto industry who have attended these events), and a like-minded local group called Junto that is modeled on an intellectual discussion group founded by Benjamin Franklin.

I had hoped to have some post-conference discussion with some of the team that helped organize Remodel Green, but they were apparently still recovering from theconference and the last Green Drinks, and weren't there.

o2Michigan also introduced a new T-shirt (printed on organic cotton tees) that announces the Green Drinks program. Shannon Brines (the local food advocate I've written about before) models the o2 Michigan Green Drinks tee (above).
