Charleston Green Drinks, an inclusive community for people passionate about the environment, invites you to join them for their next gathering on Tuesday, July 19th at 6 pm. The event will be held at Commonhouse Aleworks in North Charleston. The topic is “Plastic Pollution | Plastic Free July.”
Plastic Free July is an international environmental awareness and action campaign held annually each summer . This month's Green Drinks event will feature short introductions from folks working to address the impact of plastics in our local environment and beyond:
- SC AQUARIUM – With education, research and community engagement, the South Carolina Aquarium focuses on fostering positive change for the natural world surrounding us through our conservation efforts.
- CHARLESTON SURFRIDER – The Surfrider Foundation is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's ocean, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.
- FISHER RECYCLING – Fisher is the only waste hauler who is actually recycling commercial and residential glass from Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.
- PLANET + PURPOSE SOLUTIONS – Planet+Purpose Solutions advises organizations on their plastic reduction initiatives in their offices, at events, in their supply chains and distribution centers.
- MAMASITA'S CLOTH DIAPER SERVICE – Mamasita's Cloth Diaper Service is a mother/daughter team who launched the only Cloth Diaper Service in the Lowcountry. Last year, they kept approximately 36,000 disposable diapers out of local landfills and waterways.
The brief intros will be followed by tabling time and open networking, giving us all the chance to both dig deeper into the issues and better connect with one another. You can learn more here.
