Green Drinks December 2022
Join Cottonwood Environmental at Uphill Pursuits for this December’s Green Drinks event! Free beer from Shred Monk and great conversation about conservation – what else could you ask for!
Every month in Bozeman, people who care about sustainability get together at informal gatherings known as Green Drinks. Green Drinks includes a lively mixture of people from NGOs, businesses, academia, government and the local community across political and economic spectra who enjoy the opportunity to chat and network under a broad umbrella. This is a fun way to catch up with people you know and a great way to make new contacts and learn about organizations and individuals interested in all things sustainable. Everyone is welcome to invite someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.
