Green Drinks

a global initiative, an Edmonton chapter

Green Drinks started in 1989 as an informal networking initiative aimed at bringing environmentally concerned individuals, organizations, businesses, whomever, together in a minimally structured way.

​

Edmonton non-profit organization The Local Good started an Edmonton chapter around 2010,

hosting monthly meetings. The COVID pandemic brought this to a temporary pause and

also brought The Local Good to an unfortunate end. 

​

I4C teamed up with some other green organizations, together we started Green Drinks Edmonton up again in summer 2024 and jointly we host monthly Green Drinks meetings through the fall, winter, and spring.

Since time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples have lived on the lands of present-day central Alberta, the territories today of Treaty 6 and 7 as well as the Métis Homeland. The Institute for Contemplative Ecology respects the histories, languages and cultures of the diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples of Canada; acknowledges their living here and wisdom embodied in their traditions and ceremonies practiced for centuries before the coming of colonialism and settlers; and are inspired by their achievement of living in a sacred ecology over countless generations.
