Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks.
We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along 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 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.
These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. It's a force for the good and we'd like to help it spread to other cities.
Contact Sacramento Green Drinks to get the latest info about coming along at Sacramento Green Drinks

So You Think You Can Sculpt?
The Davis Art Center, in partnership with Roseville-based non-profit reCREATE, is inaugurating a new family-friendly event this fall that will celebrate California Arts Day while promoting recycling and encouraging creative artistry.
For Junk 2 Genius, teams of artisan gladiators will compete for the coveted “Trophy du Trash” in a timed “sculpt-off” using recycled materials. Each team will receive a box of similar items and race aganst the clock to create their own unique work of art. When the closing bell sounds, a panel of judges will critique the final green giants and name the winning team.
The festivities will also include art projects for kids using a variety of cast-off materials, a hat-making contest for all ages, and a silent auction of gently used purses filled with mystery items along with tools, sports stuff and gadgets for men – plus food, beer, wine and music.
Before the competition, schoolchildren will take field trips to the Art Center for activities involving creative reuse. Read more…

The Sacramento region is the emerging “hub” for the nation’s Clean Energy technology, commercialization and public policy. The region already boasts nearly 100 Clean Technology companies that provide solar, wind, biofuel, and energy-efficient technology. Because of Sacramento’s role in shaping energy policy for the state and the state’s de facto role as a global leader in pioneering energy policy, clean energy technology companies have found the Sacramento region to be the ideal location for their clean energy headquarters. Our unique combination of high-tech resources and world-class academic institutions provides the resources that emerging Clean Tech companies need to thrive.
Workshops will focus on several tracks:
* Clean Tech Public/Private Policies
* Clean Technologies
* Clean Technology Workforce
* Clean Technology Startups
* Fresh Faces - First-movers and emerging companies with clean tech products and services in the Sacramento region.
