Did you know that the proposed EPA budget cuts haven’t been passed by Congress yet? This is a good time to call your elected Federal Congressmen and Senators and tell them to fight against those cuts.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And oh, yeah, about protecting the Open Internet aka #NetNeutrality… one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time.<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">EJ = Environmental Justice & Green Drinks = is just our name!

EJ is short for Environmental Justice and “Green” means environmental issues. Green Drinks are networking events with a sustainability/green theme. They’re held in environmental justice communities in north Jersey … but sorry ... no green drinks of any kind are being offered yet. <br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Q: Who are “We”?</b><br class="">A: Green Drinks hosts are a friendly group of people who love to share information about sustainability, the environment, greening communities and empowering citizens (that’s a sustainability concept). We discuss activities and exchange information according to who's at the table any given month – and what they’re interested in.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Q: How long are meetings?</b></div><div class="">A: Green Drinks is more a gathering than a meeting: friends drop in and stay for any length of time they wish during the two hours we’re at each location. We always meet in places where the food is good, and they're typically BYOB spots – but check with management to make sure. Friends pay for their own food and drinks.<br class=""><br class="">^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br class=""><br class="">EJ Green Drinks meeting schedule/horario this month:<br class=""><br class="">Hosts – Ivan Wei, Ari Lopez Wei, Sally Gellert, Cinda Wallace<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Environmental & Climate Justice Green Drinks Newark<br class="">Monday 05 JUN 2017 | 7-9 PM</b><br class="">(1st Mondays - los primer lunes)<br class="">Aguilas de Mexico 973-732-4168<br class="">118 Pacific St, Newark NJ<br class="">Plenty of street parking / Estacionamiento amplio en la calle<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Environmental & Climate Justice Green Drinks Hackensack<br class="">Monday 12 JUN 2017 | 7-9 PM</b><br class="">(2nd Mondays - los segundo lunes)<br class="">Villa de Colombia 201-343-3399<br class="">12 Mercer Street, Hackensack, NJ<br class="">Parking lot / Estacionamiento disponible</div><div class="">Additional parking in American Cancer Society lot corner State & Mercer Streets</div><div class="">Adicional parqueo en el lote del American Cancer Society esq.
