Commissioners to Speak at Green Drinks May 27

St. Lucie County Commissioners will speak at the next ''Green Drinks'' event to be held Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m.

''Green Drinks'' is a monthly event held on the last Tuesday at Element Martini Lounge, 2096 N.W. Courtyard Circle, St. Lucie West to promote sustainability and living green.

St. Lucie County Commissioners will each speak briefly at the May event to educate residents on how to save money, while at the same time raising awareness of ''green practices.'' Commissioners Joe Smith, Doug Coward, Paula Lewis, Charles Grande and Chris Craft are all scheduled to attend. Each commissioner will discuss their personal vision of a ''greener'' community, and what steps St. Lucie County is taking to lead by example.

''Green Drinks has become more than just a networking social; it has become a forum for the community to be educated on different methods of creating a greener world. When we first brought this concept to St. Lucie County, we had no idea of the response we would get from the community,'' said event coordinator John O'Neill of ActivTeck Environmental Green Consulting & Solutions. ''We want to say that we truly appreciate the fact that the community wants to be involved selflessly in creating a more sustainable Treasure Coast.''
