No appletini, thanks, but pass the organic wine!

Last night I attended one of the Boston Green Drinks events and thoroughly enjoyed the company. (Greater) Boston Green Drinks meets at a neighborhood pub on the 1st Tuesday and 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 6:30 — 9:30 pm; details of the meeting are sent out to subscribers approximately one week beforehand. If you have any questions or would like to be added to the distribution list to receive monthly reminders, send an email to bostongreendrinks@gmail.com. I highly recommend it!

I met people from all over the city doing great things; from the Charles River Conservancy to EarthWatch to our neighbor, the Lenox, to young students looking to meet professionals already in the sustainable business sector. Since our whole mission at D2E is to promote businesses that are abiding by the triple bottom line* while educating consumers about how to live sustainably in our urban/suburban environment, this was a great place to talk to people about interesting programming options. We always want to hear about the challenges and victories of individuals living in greater Boston. How do you commute? What recycling challenges are you facing? What is the best way for an apartment dweller to compost? We want to know. Send your ideas to info@d2eboston.com.

* Triple bottom line: Financial, social, and environmental effects of a firm’s policies and actions that determine its viability as a sustainable organization.

Some green drinks from our exhibitors:

French Rabbit is changing the way wine is made and packaged.

Tetra-Prisma containers are state-of-the-art packaging that will revolutionize the wine industry. 100% recyclable, Tetra-Prisma containers reduce packaging by 90% in comparison to typical glass wine bottles. They may not look as romantic, but they work great for Shakespeare on the Common.

Kunde Wine Estates are looking at every aspect of their business.

For example, cover crops are employed to reduce energy usage, water conservation, control erosion, increase soil fertility, and create habitats for beneficial insects. Vegetation management and the placement of nesting boxes for owls and other raptors throughout the vineyards support a natural, pest free environment. These approaches to winegrowing create a naturally healthy environment which results in well-balanced vines and wines.

So if you like a glass of wine with your meal, consider your sustainable options!

  1. That’s known that money makes us independent. But what to do when somebody does not have money? The only one way is to get the business loans or credit loan.

  6. Reebok Easytone Trainers do not offer the health enhancing properties of competitor brands on the market such as Reebok Easytone Shoes and Easytone Shoes, however what they do offer is an increased workout and toning of the legs and bottoms in super quick time. They can be easily incorporated into a daily routine and offer a more thorough workout Reebok Easy Tone Shoes walking, jogging or just pottering around the house completing daily Reebok EasyTone.
    Independent tests have demonstrated that Reebok EasyTone Inspire will boost muscle activity to the gluteus by up to 28%, with hamstring activity raised by 11% and a further 11% boost to the Discount Reebok EasyTone.If the gamble pays off for Reebok ZigTech Shoes, then maybe these shoes will help revitalize their brand. What do you think? Do you plan to buy the new Zig Pulse Shoes pieces ‘which claims to be’ on the energy drink for your feet? I do not see any of these in the future. You can watch a video of John Wall Mens ZigTech Shoes commercial below. Without being at the press conference announcement of the shoes.Everything about zig pulse women is designed to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft and springy stride. The one-of-a-kind Cheap Zigtech Shoesbottom unit features an innovative, lightweight foam that is engineered into a dramatic, geometric, Reebok ZigTech. This unique zig-zag sole absorbs the impact of heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe to help propel the athlete forward with each step.
