Education

Green educational events, classes, and meetings around Atlanta and Decatur…

…focused on all things green, from sustainable living to the environment to gardening to local food to recycling to… you get the idea… with so many environmental events constantly going on in Atlanta and Decatur, I’ve focused on the regularly occurring ones here and kept the one-time, special events to talking about on the blog (just click “events” or “community meetings” in the right sidebar). As always, contributions and suggestions are always welcome! (I just started this part, so more to come…)

• Atlanta Chapter of the Sierra Club: monthly meetings held the second Tuesday of each month (except July) at 7:30 p.m. at the Church of the Epiphany, 2089 Ponce de Leon Avenue NE in Atlanta
• Southface’s Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable: monthly networking and environmental discussion on a wide range of issues facing Atlanta; typically the first Friday of every month at 7 a.m. at All Saints’ Episcopal Church (Ellis Hall) at 634 W. Peachtree Street, Atlanta, 30308; check website for upcoming topics
