Join RE Sources for another session of Green Drinks Bellingham every first Wednesday of the month from 5-7 pm to connect with other green thinkers, movers and shakers. Tell all your friends and co-workers to come, too! The location has yet to be determined for this particular month so stay tuned for more information or visit the RE Sources website below to get on our email list. Green Drinks is an organic networking session that started in London, England and has since caught fire around the world. Like-minded individuals in places from Hong Kong to India, Sweden to South Africa meet every month to catch-up, network and talk about the latest green issues. According to greendrinks.org, These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. The best part about Green Drinks is that there is no structure, just good people meeting at a regular place and time. Visit www.greendrinks.org to see the rave reviews from Green Drinkers across the planet!

The magnitude of the problem seems so daunting that we just throw up our hands in frustration. The Climate Diet provides a quick and easy way for us to tackle our energy use demons and wasteful practices one step at a time. For more information go to climatediet.com. Dr. Jonathan Harrington is an associate professor of international relations at Troy University and has been educating students and the public about environmental issues for more than 15 years. He lives on Mercer Island, Washington.
