Eco-Justice

Eco-Justice will be meeting and working with KU Environs weekly on Tuesdays, 5:30pm at the ECM. The meetings will switch each week between having larger group work and having smaller committee work meetings.

environmentally friendly footings between 31st street and the Haskell Indian
Nations Campus.
- Working with Just Food and Daily Bread to pick-up leftover foods from
several local businesses, farmers, and even The Underground on campus.
- Once the weather is nice, it’ll be time to do some gardening in the
community garden at the ECM and plant a few fruit trees.
- Work to create a KU Student Farm on land just north of town with Kelly
Kindscher and others.
- Continue to set-up an organic garden out at the correctional facility.
- Work to set up a KU Orchard and talk with the KU Grounds team to place
more fruit and nut trees around campus.
- Participate in numerous Haskell-Baker wetlands clean-ups, and other
special events including Rallies and fund-raisers.
- Keep up with the current lawsuit against the South Lawrence Trafficway,
which we and others are co-litigants in.
- Plan various field trips to areas of concern around the state.
