What we’re about
We're changing the group slightly to bring you a lot more, and varied, events and activities.
This meetup group is now run as ChangeMakers and we're opening it up to other organisations and groups that work in different areas of sustainability. So Green Drinks will post its events here as usual, but you'll start seeing a lot more from other groups too.
Green Drinks Exeter - Social Meetups for Nature Lovers
Green Drinks is a relaxed and fun social for anyone that loves the environment, nature, or wildlife.
We're a very friendly bunch and the event is hosted, so you will be greeted and introduced to others, so please don't worry be put off if you’re coming on your own. And there’s no need to RSVP (although that does help me, Vipul, identify you) you'll very quickly make new friends and settle in. 😊
Please note, you don't need to register or be a part of this group - it's open to all.
The main event is an evening social, every third Friday, where you can join fellow lovers of nature and wildlife for a friendly, agenda free, relaxed evening of drinks (food if you like) and free-flowing conversation with new friends. You can pop in any time after 19:00, officially we will end at 22:00 but many of us stay on until 23:00 and some, of the hardier, venture on to another venue afterward.
We'd love to meet you and do encourage your friends, family, or colleagues to join us.
We have a second event, a Green Drinks Walk, on the fourth weekend of every month – a fabulous way to meet new people and enjoy some of the beautiful sights and sounds of Devon. We try to make these accessible by public transport, for the obvious green reasons, and also not too major a hike so it should be suitable for most people.
P.S. Green Drinks is not part of any political Party and, more importantly, there are no actual green drinks

See all- GSI Seminar Series - 'Dr Genevieve Guenther: The Language of Climate Politics'Link visible for attendees
Join the GSI for a seminar with author and climate change activist Dr Genevieve Guenther who will discuss their work on the communication of climate change challenges and policies.
Dr. Guenther will explore the origins and implications of the false belief that the world can keep using oil and gas and still cope with climate change anyway. She will offer tested climate messages that undermine this propaganda and raise the support for fossil-fuel phaseout by up to ten points.
Dr Genevieve Guenther is an American author and climate change activist, best known for founding the media watchdog organization End Climate Silence. She is affiliate faculty at the Tishman Environment and Design Center at The New School. Her recent book, The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It, published by Oxford University Press, explores modern climate denial and strategies to counteract it.
Genevieve writes extensively on climate language and media coverage. She produces a weekly newsletter on climate disinformation and communication strategies. End Climate Silence advocates for greater media coverage of climate change, earning her recognition as a leading advocate for integrating climate narratives into news stories.
Genevieve's work has been featured in CNN, WNYC, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and the BBC. She also contributed as an Expert Reviewer for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, solidifying her role in climate communication.
A Zoom link for this talk will be sent closer to the time, please email infoGSI@exeter.ac.uk if you are not on our mailing list and require a link.
