Three Years of Fairfield Green Drinks-Join us June 5th!

Fairfield Green Drinks brings together people who care about sustainability, in a friendly setting to share information, resources and to help build and support a green infrastructure.

Over the last three years, Fairfield Green Drinks has brought together people who care about sustainability, green businesses and non-profit organizations in a friendly setting to share information, resources and to help build and support a green infrastructure.


Since January 9th, 2009, Fairfield Green Drinks has educated over 1,000 people and supported over 60 businesses, organizations, and community leaders that have shared their message at these monthly, community events. These gatherings have lead to numerous business transactions that support the local green economy, have aided people in finding employment and have supported local green efforts and projects throughout Fairfield County and beyond.
