NewsGreen Drinks GatheringJoin SCoR and your friends at the next Green Drinks Gathering! SCoR, the Sustainability Center of the Rockies, will be hosting this event at different locations the second Thursday of every month. The Green Drinks gatherings are part of an international network. According to Green Drinks International, “Every month people who work in the environmental field meet up at informal sessions known as Green Drinks. We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you’ll be made welcome. Just say “Are you green?” and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. It’s a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing network.” |

Introduction to SCOR SCOR’s mission is to transform the Roaring Fork Valley’s built environment into a model of resource-efficient living. SCoR partners with other nonprofits, for-profits and local governments to create and inspire green projects that demonstrate and educate through cutting-edge techniques and technologies. SCOR’s first project, already under way, is to partner with a local community development corporation in redeveloping a former elementary school into the Carbondale Community Center (C3); SCOR’s role is to advocate, and raise funding, for the greenest possible design. In addition, SCOR is seeking to rally local environmental nonprofits (and some for-profits) in establishing their own wing in the center that will serve as the hub for environmental efforts in the region, facilitate collaboration among tenants, and feature a sustainability learning center for students and the general public. |
