Hello ATL Science Tavern members!

What:
Join us at Thinking Man Tavern on Saturday, July 26th at 7 PM to participate in a group discussion lead by Emory's Chief Environmental Officer Dr. John Wegner.

Where:
537 W. Howard Ave
Decatur, GA 30030
404.370.1717

When:
Saturday, July 26th 7 PM

Who:
Dr. Wegner is Emory University's Chief Environmental Officer. He is also a senior lecturer, teaching courses in Ecosystem Ecology, the Ecology of Emory and Ecosystems of the southeastern United Sates.

He joined Emory after 23 years at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. In the fall of 2001 he became the University's environmental consultant, and maintains an office in both Emory's Environmental Science Department and in Facilities Management.

He will speak to us about Emory's sustainability (meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs) vision and how Emory has used the Green building design based on the US Green Building Council's LEED rating system to guide its campus management and development. That is how Emory has strived to be part of a healthy ecosystem, seeking to reduce the university's harmful impacts on the environment and contribute to the regeneration of its surrounding ecosystem.
