Another Great Turnout for Green Drinks; A Look Ahead to Next Month

While not exactly topping February's Brewery blowout -- a joint effort between Green Drinks and the GA that drew over 100 eager ears to the basement of Portsmouth's favorite brewpub -- last night's gathering at 2 Ceres street (nextdoor to Poco's on the decks) still managed to draw a sizable crowd of 30 or so local greenies and business representitives.


This month's featured Green Speaker was Hillary Gaynor, a local "Green Realtor". What makes a realtor green? According to Gaynor, a number of things, most of which revolve around educating her clients, be they buyers or sellers, on how to make their home more appealing, mainly in terms of energy efficiency, design, etc, particularly in the midst of an increasingly difficult housing market.


For those of you who were there -- and for those of you too caught up in the arrival of spring to have made it -- next month's gathering offers two GA members at the forefront of green building on the Secoast: Chirs Redman of Little Green Homes, and Shane Carter of Ridgeview Construction. Both will be speaking about the benefits -- both long term and, given the availiability of federal tax dollars for green and energy-efficient investments, financial and immedate as well -- of green home construction.



The event, as usual, will be held at 2 Ceres street, and will start promptly at 6pm... the speaking part, that is -- the drinking part starts whenever you get there!
