About us
Welcome to the largest sustainability and environmental Meetup group in Toronto and Greater Toronto Area.
Join us on the path to sustainability.
Through events, we'll draw attention to and foster discussion about the problems and challenges associated with climate change, especially locally.
More importantly, we'll highlight solutions and approaches that individuals, households, and communities can take to reduce your carbon footprint.
We'll also repost sustainability and environmental events from organizations not on Meetup.
Feel free to suggest an event, topic, or speaker.

Lobster Burger Bar, 214 king st west,, Toronto, ON, CAHosted by Green Drinks Toronto:
We will have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, students, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always... a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network.
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.
