July is Climate Justice and Environmental Justice July!

From the placement of landfills to the impacts of extreme weather events, it is apparent that climate change and other environmental issues disproportionately and unjustly affect communities of color and low-income neighborhoods, worsening existing health disparities and overall wellness and wealth-building. We challenge our sustainability network to educate ourselves on the importance of climate justice and environmental justice and how we can all further these movements.

Summer Farmers Market – Ice Cream Festival

Cox Hall Bridge 569 Asbury Circle, Atlanta, Atlanta

The Ice Cream Festival will take place at the last Summer Farmers Market on August 28th. Get sweet treats from all your favorite vendors, like King of Pops, Revolution Gelato, Butter & Cream, and more! You can also enjoy a live folk music performance as you shop for ice cream.

The Emory Farmers Market features fresh, seasonal local produce; artisanal bread; honey; other artisan products and baked goods; fair trade and organic coffee options; and diverse lunch options. In addition to providing delicious and convenient food choices to the Emory community, the market encourages us all to interact with Georgia farmers and small business owners, to expand our knowledge about healthy eating and sustainable production and to establish a relationship with the people who grow our food—an essential component of a healthy, local food system. The Market is co-managed by the Office of Sustainable Initiatives and Emory Dining with support of a sub-committee composed of students, faculty and staff.
