Thursday 26th August from 5.30pm in the Back Room of Filadelfios at the Gardens
GREENDRINKS Dunedin provides an opportunity for everyone interested in sustainability and the environment to meet in a relaxed setting. It is organised in Dunedin by the Sustainable Dunedin City Society and is part of GreenDrinks International, a social networking movement.
We meet on the last Thursday of each month from 5.30pm at Filadelfios. Each month a different community group hosts a theme. Everyone interested very welcome. Please bring a friend!
THEME THIS MONTH: Words on a Wing – Get ready for Conservation Week!
GreenDrinks is hosted this month by the Department of Conservation.
We’ll ask people to work together to make cardboard kakapo (that paper feathers will be attached to) that we’ll use during conservation week for the ‘Words on a Wing’ initiative. And we’ll invite people to write their own message about biodiversity on a feather. The messages will then be gathered up and taken to the Convention on Biological Diversity’s 10th Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting in Japan in October. See www.doc.govt.nz/words-on-a-wing.
