Are you making an effort to be more “green” because you care about the environment?   Would you like to make more eco-friendly choices when going out for a drink?  ecoDrinking.com is an online guide for green bars, clubs and lounges.  According to ecoDrinking:

Green isn’t black and white, so there’s no single thing a bar can do to be eco-friendly.  However, there’s a wide range of green techniques being explored by different venues…  All bars on ecoDrinking have shown a clear intent to go green by implementing at least a handful of ‘green cred’ points, or by attaining certification from a credible green organization (all of which is detailed on each profile, along with links to external sources when available.)  But in the interest of quality, a bar will be removed if their green efforts are discontinued or shown to be false.

Bars can be browsed by city and state.  Maps are included for each location.  The description for each bar includes reviews and a list of what makes it green.  Do you have a favorite green bar?   If it’s already on the site you can write a review, if it’s not you can suggest it.
