Happy hour might be a small ritual, but behind every bottle, can and glass poured lies a complex environmental story. From vineyard to brewery to distillery, our favorite drinks depend on water, energy and agriculture — all of which have a planetary price tag.

In this Seeing Green Podcast episode in the Greening My… series, we explore what it means to make your next toast a little greener.

We cover:

• The hidden footprint behind spirits, wine and beer — from farming and fermentation to packaging and shipping
• How sustainable innovators are reimagining every pour, from grain-to-glass distilling and regenerative vineyards to breweries powered by clean energy
• Spotlights on standout Solutionists, including Avallen Spirits, Gray Whale Gin, Arbikie Highland Estate, Jackson Family Wines, Silver Oak Cellars, Anderson Valley Brewing Co., and more — proving that great taste and sustainability can go hand in hand

The episode wraps with simple tips to help listeners “green” their own happy hours, from trying a new sustainable brand or lighter packaging format to hosting a planet-positive gathering. Because when it comes to raising a glass, progress tastes pretty good.
