Green Drinks incorporates all three pillars of sustainability: a healthy environment, economic vitality, and social equity. Topics and formats encompass a variety of culturally-relevant celebrations, book clubs, speaker series, videos highlighting local businesses, and the original networking-style event with business hosts. While the format and focus of Green Drinks has shifted over the past few years, the purpose remains the same: to bring people together to learn, discuss, and advance a sustainable future for everyone in Central Oregon.
Green Drinks events are free to attend but we welcome a donation of any amount which will help cover the cost of hiring a diverse lineup of speakers and hosting the event. With your donation, you join a network of members who share your value of local sustainability. Thank you!
March Green Drinks | Screening of ZURAWKSI V TEXAS
Monday, March 31, 2025 @ 5:00 PM at The Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas Ave.
Join us for a powerful film that follows women denied abortions under Texas' strict abortion bans as they team up with a courageous attorney to challenge the state in court. Their fight reveals the devastating impact of losing access to healthcare and the extraordinary efforts to regain reproductive rights for millions of women and families. This event will explore the intersections of Environmental Justice, Reproductive Justice, and Gender Justice. After the film, engage in a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring representatives from key organizations working at the forefront of these issues.
