I do like the concept. I will attend the next Green Drinks on tuesday 31st of March at Palate Palette, in Kuala Lumpur and find out more about it.
The idea is to gather people who work in the environmental field at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.
Green Drinks movement describes himself as “a lively mixture of “Green” people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you’ll be made welcome. Just say, “are you green?” and they 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.“
It is now active in 465 cities worlwide.
Green Drinks Kuala Lumpur invites “anyone with an interest in local and international environmental and sustainability issues – all ages, backgrounds and groups – non-profits, academia, government, small business, big business, self-employed, volunteers, students, concerned citizens, curious people… and everything in between.”

Palate Palette is located at 21 Jalan Mesui, off Jalan Nagasari (behind Istana Hotel), in Kuala Lumpur.
Hope to meet some of you guys there.

This is a resort like no other in Pulau Tioman, Pahang. It is luxury without decadence; a rustic escape with all the amenities of a 5-star hotel; a soothing sanctuary in an undisturbed corner of an otherwise busy island. Japamala Resort is high-end comfort at minimal cost to the planet.
The Frangipani Langkawi Resort and Spa is serious about being green. It does not stop at a passive plea to its guests to save water, switch off the lights and reuse their towels.
