Toronto Green Drinks
What is the Green Drinks Toronto recipe? A jovial mix of environmental professionals and Torontonians interested in the environment + a few pints (or non-alcoholic drinks!) = A relaxed and agenda-free evening of enviro-meeting and greeting. Green Drinks International started in the UK in 1989 and has rapidly become a worldwide event. Drop in 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 for making new contacts. Toronto Green Drinks started in June 2005 and has attracted hundreds of environmental professionals and interested residents to our monthly gatherings. Our average attendance ranges from 70 to over 100 people a night and it's a different group every month... definitely not cliquey! Every 3rd Wednesday of the month - People start showing up at 5:45 p.m. The Bedford Academy, 36 Prince Arthur Ave., Toronto
The Canadian Press- - Toronto mayor David Miller says the city is joining the ranks of Canadian municipalities considering a ban on the sale of bottled water.
Miller says city council will examine how the city can curb bottled water waste as part of a larger effort to reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills.
A report outlining the city's options will come before council in November.
Miller says Toronto's tap water is more pure than the leading brand of bottled water.
His comments come after the city of London, Ont., banned the sale of water bottles in their municipal buildings on Monday.
Other Canadian cities, such as Kitchener, Ottawa, and Vancouver, have all expressed interest in a similar ban.
Please write the mayor and council members in support.

This morning I woke to find it 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit). I stepped outside and could hear the sound of two neighbors' window-unit air conditioners, running. Of course, it's strange, because the outdoor tempreture is already cooler than the recommended setting for an AC, 24 C, 75 F. Read More »
I've just created three new groups, and I hope members of this group will join them. Read More »
