Clean Drinks

Clean Drinks is a network community for people working in the field of sustainability. By bringing al these people together the aim is to make it easier to create a better world together.

We where invited to promote and come to this event and present our business together with other green companies in the Netherlands as, Stoere Vrouwen, Remotion and the 1% club.

The night started of in the beautiful industrial club Trouw on the eastside of Amsterdam. The event started of with a very interesting discussion, which brought the municipals and sustainable entrepreneurs together. We entered the discussion very actively and a little nervous, finally having a change to talk to the municipals face to face.

So what is our relationship like with the municipals? Well, to tell you the truth, we operate in a ‘grey area’ and rules about our form of advertising do currently not exist. This can leave us in weird situations: Some municipals really like what we are doing and are supporting us and our business, others are not so sure how to react on innovation. The discussion was very interesting and we found out that there are many entrepreneurs in sustainability like ourselves, struggling with legislation. So we entrepreneurs are al hoping that the open discussion will be fruitful!

After the discussion, which was heated not only because of the topic, but also because of the high temperature in the club, we refreshed ourselves with some cold drinks and mingled in the crowd.






The afternoon before the event started, we went out and made GreenGraffiti’s showing the way to the event and we created a ‘green carped’ that gave the event some extra flair! We where very glad to find out that many people supported and liked our GreenGraffiti’s and we received a lot of compliments on our work for Clean Drinks.

We enjoyed inspiring speeches of Marijke Vos and the Urgenda foundation and stayed a little to long for a Monday night. When we finally left the event, we felt a little tipsy from the delicious organic wine, but we enjoyed the night and will be present at the next Clean Drinks event.
