Boozing environmentalists

MATT DRISCOLL: TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE HUB >>>

While environmental groups often get stereotyped as elitist, Prius driving, granola munching, tree hugging, sandal wearing wackos, it’s a misconception that could use debunking. Especially these days, environmentalists are everywhere and are everyone – and thank goodness for it. Somebody has to look out for Mother Earth.

If you need proof that environmentalists are just like you and me, consider this: Environmentalists like to drink. It’s true. Not only do they like to drink, but in Tacoma they get together and do it regularly.

It’s called Tacoma Green Drinks, and on the first Tuesday of every month the group meets at a local watering hole and talks sustainability, conservation and the environment.

Tomorrow night Tacoma Green Drinks will get together at the Hub from 5:30 – 8 p.m. You’re totally invited – unless you insist on driving that 1974 Plymouth Duster. Tacoma Green Drinks suggest you take the bus or ride a bike.
