This Frederick County institution, begun several years ago by local resident Rich Maranto of Going Green Maryland, and now hosted by Envision Frederick County, offers an opportunity to get together in an informal setting to learn about local issues and programs while enjoying happy hour. Green Drinks are hosted in different locations around the County and typically include a 15 to 20 minute discussion followed by time for drinks & meeting other members of the community. Recent topics have included: Land Preservation Programs in Frederick County; How to Increase Voter Turnout; Increasing Bike Paths in the County; and Home Energy Efficiency Programs & Opportunities among many others.
