A few of us connected on the My Climate Journey Slack group, looking to meet other folks in PDX working in the climate sector. We had so much fun at our first happy hour that we've made it a regular thing, and we'd love if you'd join us. We make spaces for thought-leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and people passionate about sustainability to meet, hang out, and learn.
Have someone you think should join? Invite them! Just like climate solutions, it takes all kinds and the more the merrier.
Not only a staple on the Portland craft beer scene, Hopworks has been serious about ecological responsibility from the beginning. The brewery is a b-corp, certified salmon-safe, builds with reclaimed materials, and runs on sustainable energy.
Founder and Brewmaster Christian Ettinger will join our happy hour to give us a brief overview of their operations, climate engagement, and answer a few questions before we spend the rest of our evening sampling the results of his hard work.

 This month we'll be chatting with member Marcelino Alvarez.
Marcelino is the Chief Executive Officer of Photon Marine, a Portland-based startup that is developing high-powered, electric outboard motor systems for marine fleets.
Photon exists for the benefit of the world’s most fragile marine ecosystems and for those whose livelihoods and sustenance depend on them.
Prior to Photon, Marcelino served as Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting, which acquired Uncorked Studios, a product design firm that he co-founded in 2010 and served as CEO.
