The first Wednesday of October saw Green Drinks linking with Okehampton Fairtrade Group for a talk about Palestinian products that are being exported to UK via an organisation called Zaytoun. It was great to see an international link being brought into the EcoHub.

And what is Green Drinks?
Green Drinks is a project co-ordinated by Plastic Free Okehampton and started in September 2023. Green Drinks provides an opportunity for like-minded local residents, business leaders, voluntary groups and individuals to meet informally once a month at the EcoHub. We usually have a local speaker to talk to the group about an environmental project and then we spend the rest of the evening networking, swapping ideas and generally enjoying positive conversations about local environmental issues and initiatives. Green Drinks has, I believe, established itself as an uplifting opportunity to meet with others who share the same passions for the environment.
