Want to know more about what's happening in Copenhagen for the COP15 climate change discussions? Then join The DC Green Connection and friends at CarbonfreeDC for a celebratory kickoff and festive holiday event. Get the inside scoop from Nicholas Sundt, communications director for World Wildlife Fund's Climate Program and learn what's on the negotiating table at Copenhagen. In addition to enjoying Restaurant 1905's intimate vibe and tasty organic beers, spirits and sustainable food samplers, you'll get to meet lots of other greenminded Washingtonians, Climate Riders, and even get a start on some eco-friendly holiday shopping!

Thanks to donations by local green businesses we'll have a small silent auction with proceeds going to support CarbonfreeDC’s efforts to green low-income neighborhoods and offer their free workshop series as well as to promote the DCGC mission of educating consumers and growing the green economy!
