Sharing eco-sins at Greendrinks
Last night's Greendrinks hosted by WCYY and the Maine Rock Gym attracted another stellar crowd. We even had some political star power in the form of Portland's newest (and obviously coolest) State Senator Justin Alfond (who's standing in the center of this photo wearing the maroon sweater). Once again Peak Organic supplied us tree-hugging networkers with suds. But the local organic brewery wasn't alone. The folks from Sebago Brewing also showed up to hand out their tasty, locally-brewed product.
We all got to check out the rock gym and see a few people give it a try. Portland-based photographer Sam Cousins (who I'm sure will have much better photos posted on his Flickr site soon) told me he saw a woman attempting to scale the wall with two beers in one hand. Now that's talent!
The folks at WCYY were handing around this whiteboard and asking us to reveal our eco-sins. Here's Adam admitting to driving a less than green vehicle. Word has it that I fessed up to cranking the heat to 80 every once and a while, but since I don't have any photographic evidence of such a confession I plan to plead the 5th if questioned. (Who me? I absolutely love a freezing bathroom in the morning.) I can only hope at next month's event we get asked about our green good deeds, that way none of us is forced to run damage control in the morning.

Woohoo, I'm famous.
At any rate, here's the link to my photos on flickr - including the two-beer climber.

Did you not climb the wall Avery? I guess the kids and I are going to have to take you back there to try it when there are less important things (like beer) around. ;)
