A Climate Resolution for our Community

We've got a slight change in programming for tomorrow's Green Drinks - we'll hear about the City of Austin's new community climate resolution! Dr. Michael Blackhurst of UT's Civil and Environmental Engineering Institute will be with us at the Blackheart Pub for June's installment of Austin Green Drinks to talk to us about city-scale what the new resolution means for us and about actions for climate mitigation and energy efficiency. Come by at 6pm for a drink and networking!

Where: Blackheart Bar at 86 Rainey St. (on the back patio) (map)
When: Tuesday, June 24 6pm - 8pm

Who should join: Everyone! Especially those interested in sustainability wanting to meet others with similar interests. The Austin Green Drinks happy hour series creates opportunities to meet with other environmental, sustainability, and clean-tech professionals in an informal atmosphere; after all, that’s how the greatest ideas are born. We attract professionals who routinely initiate innovative ways to meet the challenges of a sustainable future.
