July 6th Green Drinks - Sierra Club discusses its Beyond Coal Campaign

Please join us Tuesday, July 6th at 7pm for the next Green Drinks event - on the Ecotrust Terrace.

Robin Everett of the Sierra Club will discuss Oregon's energy mix and the 41% of our energy that still comes from coal. She will also discuss the PGE-owned Boardman coal-fired power plant and whether PGE will invest $500 million into this aging coal plant or to transition to a clean energy future.

Time: Doors open at 6:30pm, the speakers starts promptly at 7:00. Announcements will follow the speakers and networking will continue until 8:45.

Donation: We ask that you donate $5 to help us cover our costs. All attendees will be entered into a raffle to win an arrangement from Botanica Floral.

Food / Drinks: Hot Lips will be selling beer and wine upstairs so you can more easily experience the "drinks" portion of "Green Drinks." You'll still need to go downstairs for any food but are welcome to bring it upstairs.

Discussion Groups: During the networking after the speaker, we will have 4 topics for discussion in the four corners of the room. The rest of the room will be free-form networking/socializing.
