• Trash: silverware (unless it says “compostable” on it), plastic packaging, wrappers (chips, dressing, etc), plastic wrap
• Organics/Compost: Paper take-out containers, clear EcoProducts salad/fruit containers, napkins, any food waste
• Recycle: Empty bottles, cans, milk cartons, juice cartons, small fruit/smoothie/granola cups with a #1 or #6 recycle symbol

Tips:

Check for the word “compostable” or recycle symbol #7

Check for a recycle symbol with #1-4, and #6.

If in doubt, TRASH IT!!

Conflict in City Government

During my last two years as an Environmental Studies student at Augsburg, I worked as the Sustainability Intern for the City of St. Louis Park in the Environment and Sustainability Department. I worked at St. Louis Park City Hall alongside a small team of employees to implement the city’s , which lays out a road map for the city to reach carbon neutrality by the year 2040. Our job was to encourage residents and businesses to reduce their energy usage and promote the use of renewable energy in place of fossil fuels. The biggest challenge I faced during my internship was adapting to the constant undercurrent of conflict that is considered “normal” when working in public policy. Government employees must balance the interests of residents, businesses, developers, homeowners, city council members, and other groups and everyone needs to participate in the planning process when deciding on the actions to take that will shape the city. With so many clashing groups and interests at the table, conflict was inevitable and always present. I saw conflict stem from lack of citizen trust, lack of government transparency, failure to involve affected groups in the planning process, etc.

A Chance to Grow

As an undergraduate student and newbie to local government, I was pretty uncomfortable in this environment. I wanted to solve all the problems and make everyone happy, thinking that if I “worked hard enough” I could get everyone what they needed. I found myself people-pleasing and overworking to avoid additional issues and accepting work that was beyond what an intern should be assigned. This motivation to “fix” quickly led to frustration and resentment. After a year of avoiding discomfort, I decided to try a new approach by seeking some extra training in this area. After doing some research online, I found Conflict Mediation Training through the . My hope was that I would be able to use these skills to manage stress and conflict, making my internship more tolerable. I applied for and was awarded a scholarship to participate in a 5 day, 30 Hour Civil Facilitative Hybrid Mediation Class from the CRC and sustainability grant funding to cover the other half. I applied for this additional grant through the Environmental Studies program at Augsburg and I’m very fortunate to have been awarded these grants since I wouldn’t have been able to afford this type of training on my student budget!

Conflict Mediation Training

For five days, I got to work individually and in groups with experts on conflict and communication, learning about mediation from the ground up, beginning with understanding how and why conflict arises, moving on to how to support others in conflict and finally, how to facilitate conflict between two parties and reach a mutual agreement. Each day I learned new skills and concepts that I was able to take home and try out, many of which have become permanent in my communication style. Here are some concepts that have stuck with me most:

• Win-Win Thinking > Zero-Sum Thinking: As humans, we tend to use zero-sum thinking, which you can read more about and avoid this pattern by switching to win-win thinking. We do this by remembering that there can be more than one winner in conflict and a possibility usually exists where all parties involved can win or get what they need from the situation.
• Self Determination = Empowerment: Research has shown that people in conflict are more likely to follow through on a solution they come up with together, rather than a suggestion made by an outside party. This means that the most important factor in conflict mediation is that those two people figure it out together, without intervention. It doesn’t matter if a 3rd person has the best answer or knows who’s right and who’s wrong, self-determination of those involved leads to feelings of empowerment and outcome that those involved will support.
• Say “No” to Indefinites: Avoid the words “always” and “never”, for example,  “you never do the dishes,” or, “I always do all the work.” It doesn’t make sense to use indefinites because it’s not possible for someone to always do something and you don’t know if someone will never do something in the future, so focus on speaking for yourself and using “I” statements to clearly express your own wants and needs.
• We Mirror One Another: Humans tend to unconsciously mirror one another, meaning that If you want someone else to stay calm, you must stay calm and you’ll have a greater chance of having that other person reflect that energy back at you.

I didn’t become a conflict resolution expert or find a magic solution that allowed everyone at my internship to work together harmoniously, but I did gain skills in conflict resolution which boosted my confidence and eased anxiety. Knowing that I was a tiny bit more prepared to handle a conflict made the undercurrent of tension at City Hall more tolerable. During the training, I practiced remaining neutral in conflict situations and staying on the outside of them, rather than becoming emotionally involved. I gained clarity on how to take a step back, which lessened the weight of responsibility I carried around at my job. I became a better listener which has improved my relationships in and out of work. Having the opportunity to explore the situations that made me uncomfortable during this training was empowering and made conflict feel less intimidating.

Scholarships and Training for Students (Especially BIPOC Students)

The last note to make is that I believe all students, especially black and indigenous students, students of color, and students from low income and underserved communities should set aside time to reflect on their skills and consider applying for scholarships to complete additional training that would help in the job they are seeking after college. Many organizations have scholarship funding set aside for students. If you can’t find scholarship information on their website, don’t be afraid to reach out via email and ask if there are funds available for students. If you find a training that’s a good fit for you and there are no scholarships available through the organization, check in with your school! Ask the director of your program or your academic advisor if there are grants available. You’d be amazed at what they can find for you. If the training will help you excel professionally, there’s a good chance your school will be willing to support that financially. Besides gaining extra skills, this is a great way to gain extra confidence when entering the workforce and boost your resume. I encourage all students to explore additional training before they graduate, especially those from communities that have been historically and systematically discriminated against.

The post Auggies Act For Earth Week! appeared first on Environmental Stewardship.

(By Allyson Green, Chief Sustainability Officer)

On April 22, 1970, students across the country organized teaching-ins that demanded action on unrestrained pollution that threatened the ecological systems that support life. As our current reality of a global pandemic has shifted plans for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day (and every other milestone the Augsburg community was planning to celebrate), the student Environmental Stewardship Coordinators and I have found ourselves grieving. What about the we were going to mobilize students to participate in? What about the coffee tasting and panel that would highlight the connections between social, environmental, economic, and personal health? We are already anxious about what the climate crisis means for our current and future health and well-being, and now how will COVID-19 change that?

In Minnesota, our health and well-being can be predicted by the color of our skin, economic status, immigration status, gender identity and sexual orientation, and other characteristics of who we are. We could all spend the next 10 days of our stay-at-home order getting lost in . COVID-19 is exposing vulnerabilities in our society that have long been present and experienced most intensely by marginalized groups of people.

And so, even in our grief, visions of a future where all inhabitants of this planet (human and non-human) can thrive are emerging more strongly and becoming more possible. A that doesn’t leave anyone behind is not only possible but necessary, and this is what helps fuel my daily hope and work.

What if everyone had healthcare that covers all of our needs, regardless of immigration status and ability to pay? What if all young people – black, brown, indigenous, LGBTQIA – had what they needed to succeed in school and follow their dreams? What if our worth didn’t depend on our productivity and consumption? And what if we all had the clean air, water, and food our bodies need to thrive?

The framework for sustainability that we use at Augsburg captures the interconnectedness of everything happening right now and reminds us that public health disasters, economic collapses, and social upheavals are not isolated events and are also inherently environmental crises. Our colleagues from the graciously share this model from their own community, honoring Ojibwe culture, that resonates with the Lutheran theology under-girding our institutional values as well.

How is your daily life illustrating these connections right now? My own mental health wavers with my ability to get outside and walk or bike around my neighborhood. As traffic has slowed on the highways, I’m reminded that my physical health is connected to the air quality around me, and I can feel the difference in my lungs. Today, my rent is due, and I’m grateful to still be employed, even as so many of my neighbors are waiting for unemployment checks before they can pay their own rent. How are these connections between wellness, social, economic, and environmental systems playing out on a community, state, national, and global scale right now?

When these systems are out of balance, we have opportunities to change the way they adapt and relate to each other moving forward, but only as we address the root causes of the imbalances to begin with. In , Vijay Kolinjivadi makes direct connections between our global exploitative economy and the climate and COVID-19 crises. We created these problems. And we can resolve them while changing direction towards an . Kolinjivadi reminds us, “the rapid and urgent actions in response to the virus and the inspiring examples of mutual aid also illustrate that society is more than capable of acting collectively in the face of grave danger to the whole of humanity.”

So, as I get ready to move on from this blog to my next task of the day, I’ll pull out the notebook I’m now using to keep track of projects while working from home. The notebook itself has become a daily reminder to keep these connections and possibilities at the top of my mind. The first half of the pages are full of notes from my graduate school GIS and epidemiology classes. As the tracking COVID-19 change daily, and , those frameworks for understanding the world are now literally and figuratively the foundation of the projects the Environmental Stewardship Coordinators and I are continuing to work on (virtually) together. A solid understanding of the connections between people and planetary health and wellbeing can help us move towards a Just Transition. We grieve our current losses, and we rejoice in the potential gains we can help enact for more equitable social, economic, wellness, and environmental systems.

Will you this month in celebrating a long history of environmental advocacy that began generations before April 22, 1970 and will continue generations after COVID-19?

Anna Cox (‘22) describes training and strategies for caucusing below:

This will be my first time caucusing, and at first the process and information was overwhelming and confusing. I feel this is the best way I can add my voice and advocate for issues I am passionate about. I will be joining others tonight at 7:00 at the University of Minnesota to caucus for climate change and for PlannedParenthood. If you would like to join meet in the Christensen lobby at 6:15 pm. If you are interested in caucusing for the Republican Party it will be held in Humphrey School of Public Affairs room 50B and for Democratic-Farmer-Labor will be held in Fraser Hall #101.

Caucus For An Issue:

Across the state, the , a statewide coalition that includes MN350 who trained us on this process, is encouraging people to Caucus for the Climate – to attend precinct caucuses and volunteer to be a Climate Delegate who will bring climate on to the next level of decision-making within each party. On January 23rd the Environmental Stewardship Committee held a Caucus for the Climate House Party, led by Andrew Marks, Blongsha Hang, and Allyson Green, and there were about twenty-five student attendees. During the caucus house party there was a focus on the climate crisis, who is responsible for the crisis, and what action can be taken to address and resolve the climate crisis. Even within our own state, Minnesota winters are warming ten times faster than our summers, and the ripple effects of climate change will be experienced by everyone. Just a three to four degree increase would cause inevitable and reversible damage, and our failure to act will be felt by current and future generations. This is why caucusing is so important and needed. Climate action bills are stuck in state senate and caucusing is a way to bring up the issues and resolutions the everyday citizen is passionate about.

Six of the Augsburg student attendees committed to being a Climate Delegate. This sounds scary but literally means sitting through lots of other decisions at the caucus meeting (and either participating or doing your homework) until it’s time to elect delegates to the next round of party gatherings in March/April. Then, you just raise your hand and volunteer to be a delegate who will ask potential candidates how they will lead on climate action. So, in order for those candidates to get your vote, they need to demonstrate how they will take action, and then you will be able to hold them accountable for that action if they get elected. Caucusing is the purest form of democracy that we currently have in today’s governmental system, and this is a way beyond voting where you can share your own voice.

Caucus For A Candidate:

Another strategy for participating in the caucuses is to become a delegate for a specific candidate, to help them gain the support of the party. People caucus for specific candidates on the local, state, and national level. On Thursday February 6th, Planned Parenthood and Minnesota360 held a caucus training and informational session at the University of Minnesota during which we discussed what caucusing is and why it’s important. The session focused on how to become a delegate for a specific presidential candidate, something especially relevant for the 2020 elections.

The holidays are a time to gather with friends and family, and create lasting memories. A time to have warm drinks, and bake homemade cookies, but among these traditions is another tradition that’s a bit more Grinch like. On average, Americans throw away almost twenty five percent more waste during the holidays than any other time of the year. Throw away holiday cards, wrapping paper, and colorful ribbons all contribute to a higher amount of waste. Adding on to that a higher amount of methane gas being released into the atmosphere due to the extra waste in landfills. This is definitely something you didn’t write on your list to Santa! With this in mind there are a few ways you can reduce your waste during the holidays.

First, use alternative wrapping paper or give a gift that needs no packing at all. Wrapping paper found in stores is not recyclable due to the colorful hues, foils, and shiny coatings therefore end up in landfills. For alternative wrapping paper you can use old newspapers, scraps of fabric, paper bags, jars, maps, and magazine covers are all great substitutes to use. Here are some . Try giving a gift such as a travel destination or going to a movie. A gift that needs no packaging at all!

Second,use energy saving LED holiday lights. Lights are a great way to make your home look ready for the holidays, but their effect on your wallet isn’t so bright. By using non-LED lights your electricity bill could be raised by sixty dollars! However, when you use LED lights the amount of electricity you use is cut by ninety percent and you can put the sixty bucks back into your wallet.

Thirdly, recycle your Christmas trees. On average ten million Christmas trees end up landfills each holiday season, and there is a really simple solution to this issue. Recycle your Christmas tree! Many cities, including Minneapolis, offer services to turn your Christmas tree into reusable mulch or wood chips. Some services will even come to your home and pick up the tree for you.

Finally, if you do end up with more “stuff” than you think you’ll actually use or need to clean out and make space for new things, consider sharing! The Twin Cities have a great network of thrift stores, many with missions to give back to our local community, that will take donations of good quality, use-able items. Giving things away for free on Craigslist, Facebook, or NextDoor can be a great way to connect with neighbors. And don’t forget about Augsburg’s new ShareShop! Located in the basement of the old Science building, next to the Free Table and Campus Cupboard, this space is student-led and in need of good that students can check-out for a day, week, month, or semester. Sharing “stuff” reduces consumption and waste, and also makes moving easier for students in transition. Students are also hoping to set up the space for repurposing items, so if your favorite ugly Christmas sweater has too many holes in it, being it over and turn it into a new pair of mittens for the New Year! Stop by the ShareShop during to check it out!

This fall from September 20-27, 2019 millions of people flooded streets and capital buildings for climate action. This climate strike was the biggest climate mobilization in history counting more than 7 million strikers. From New York to Berlin to our hometown Minneapolis millions of people joined together  and raised their voices in defense of climate action and justice. Augsburg University supported students, staff, and faculty in joining action as they felt called, and more than 50 Auggies came together for the strike. Thanks to organizing by Campus Ministry and Environmental Action Committee, Mayor Jacob Frey gave an energizing speech before we went to the strike, reminding us that by going to St. Paul we were taking action, and that after the strike was finished our work was not done. After the strike we needed to continue our action and continue raising our voices by sending letters to government representatives, pushing for more environmental policies. Following this gathering, we hopped on the light rail with hundreds of other strikers – a racially diverse group of teenagers, middle-aged people, college students, and even children.

We started the strike at the Western Sculpture Garden just a few blocks away from the capital. In the midst of hundreds of people there were sounds of music, strikers were chanting, and megaphones rang through the air. Visually seeing all the posters and the creativity behind them were really inspirational in itself. When the time came to walk to the capitol building it was really an experience to walk beside people from all different backgrounds, coming together for a single cause. When we arrived at the capitol we heard speeches from multiple different people, most of them high school students. Hearing their words and stories was truly inspirational and enlightening.

During this event we were asked a question. What next? After the strike is done what will you do to continue the action? What will you individually? What will Augsburg do as a campus? I think attending a strike just like the one on September 20th reminds us that we still have work to do. We have made improvements, but we can always do more. These are just a few quotes from our student Environmental Stewardship interns and how they felt impacted by the Global Climate Strike.

“I didn’t realize just how many marginalized groups were even more negatively affected by the climate crisis than everyone else. It was eye-opening and I hope others who were not there could watch it somewhere.”

“Last year, I went to the climate strike and I actually worked with a group of people at my school to advocate for the Green New Deal and that day was cold. There weren’t many people there,  just enough to fill the steps of the capitol. This year, there was a mass of people advocating for the health of our planet and it filled my heart with so much hope.”

Ready to take action?

Join us for a listening and action planning session around how environmental equity shows up in our lives and on campus, November 11, 4:30-6:30pm in the Marshall Room. Together we will collectively envision Augsburg’s commitment to environmental action beyond 2019.

Hi, my name is Aaryn Wilson and this past year I served as Augsburg’s Minnesota GreenCorps member. The program is affiliated with AmeriCorps. The program places AmeriCorps members with host organizations around the state to assist communities and local governments in addressing a variety of statewide needs, aiming to:

• Reduce solid waste and increase recycling in Minnesota communities.
• Reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and other air pollutants.
• Reduce water runoff and improve water quality.
• Assist community members to take eco-friendly actions.
• Increase community resilience and build local capacity to respond to the threats of climate change.
• Train new environmental professionals.

During my time at Augsburg I mainly focused on reducing solid waste and increasing recycling efforts already in place. To do this I had a lot of help from the Environmental Stewardship interns, staff, faculty, and students on campus. Some highlights from the year include:

• Showed the film Wasted! The Story of Food Waste in the fall semester of 2018.
• Conducted three waste audits on 12/10/2018, 1/31/2019, and 8/6/2019. To learn about two of the waste audit’s we did feel free to read article written by the Echo.
• During the month of March, I participated in Nexuses Tapping the Potential of Community Engagement series. After the workshops I would share what I learned with students and staff at Augsburg.
• Performed a number of waste sorts at the Commons just by simply standing near the three bin system and directing people as they through away their waste.
• With our two Step-Up interns we waste mapped the three bin systems around campus. We noted where there were bins missing and were more could be added. This was done over the months of June and July. Overall only a couple areas on campus could be modified for more effective bin placement. Contact Allyson Green for full report.
• Participated in a training with dining services staff on 1/11/2019 to teach them how to do waste sorting, organic recycling, recycling, and trash correctly.
• Led a training with Staff Senate folks about waste reduction on 12/19/2018
• Led a training with Residence Life (RAs) about waste reduction on 1/7/2019
• Conducted one-to-one meetings with students, staff, a custodian, and another volunteer member serving at Augsburg.

Overall my most memorable experiences from my service year was doing the waste audits along with having conversations with people about what they thought belonged in or didn’t belong in the organics, recycling, and trash receptacles. I had a great experience overall and will miss the awesome faculty, staff, and students here at Augsburg the most. Thank You for allowing me to serve.

The post End-of-year reflections from MN Greencorps member, Aaryn Wilson appeared first on Environmental Stewardship.

With summer on its way (eventually!), festival season is around the corner. Festivals are a great way to hear a variety of music, meet different people, see some films, and just have an overall fun experience. For people who stay on the site of the festival, or just come for a few days, they often have to bring their resources for the duration of their stay,  and oftentimes these things are left behind. The lack of proper clean up after festivals as well as the exorbitant amount of people on a patch of land is detrimental to the environment. It is so harmful that it can have lasting effects on the area, and it is extremely difficult and rare for the area to return back to the state it was in prior to the festival. An example of the harmful relationship between festivals and the environment is Woodstock. This monument brought hundreds of thousands of people, but it also meant that there were hundreds of tons of litter. The trash was relocated to the town’s landfill and little to nothing was recycled because with all the mud and people walking around, the items were contaminated and unable to be recycled properly. With festivals of different kinds being popular worldwide, it is important to make changes now to prevent this.

Some factors that affect the environment include transportation, plastic usage, and water usage. When it comes to multiple day festivals, it is common for people to stay on site to avoid having to drive back and forth, or people do decide to drive back and forth. Regardless, the constant use of cars for transportation, as well as the power needed for those concerts emit large amounts of CO2 into the air. Fuel from these vehicles (a nonrenewable resource) are constantly used. This also plays a part in the stay on the festival site. When people stay on the site, by sleeping in tents, RVs, or cars, the grass dies quickly only leaving dirt. This is because of the number of vehicles and people present there. A possible solution for these problems are not allowing people to stay on the campsites and providing public transportation for large parties.

Plastic usage is a severe problem, and frequently the plastics that are left from the visitors end up in landfills. Single-use items (such as water bottles, straws, food trays, cable ties, and toiletry items) are brought for convenience; however, those items are  most likely left behind when their usefulness is complete. Melinda Watson, the founder of sustainability charity , said: “Recycling is important, but it is far from the solution.” Sorting trash and recycling is just a bandaid to the issue, and just because waste bins are present does not mean that they will be used. A way that festivals can help is using multiple usage items such as metal straws, refillable water bottles, and reusable utensils.

Water usage is a necessity at festivals to make sure that the festival goers are staying hydrated and cool during the hot and long days. However, often times these designated areas have water running constantly and at excessive amounts. To change this, festival planners need to change the way that water is available for the people, but I’m personally unsure how to achieve this difference. The dynamic between festivals and the use of sustainability and regard for the environment needs to change before more damage occurs. However, here are 10 great environmentally friendly festivals that you can!

Current ways that some of the festivals are changing to be more environmentally friendly ranges from offering incentives like merchandise to people who recycle, using composting toilets, and providing on site activities that will turn their energy to electricity. Although these things are an amazing start to being sustainable it is important that these festivals continue these activities while also making a push to constantly change.

The debate about the possible building of the border wall has been very tense since the election of President Trump, but a frequently overlooked problem is the effect that this may have to the ecosystem around the building site. The wall itself will separate the migration of some animals that would usually cross between the two countries without a problem. This will make food for animals like jaguars, ocelots, and the Mexican gray wolf, and with these animals already struggling population-wise, the border wall could further these animal’s risk of extinction. The wall would  break up naturally formed habitats for these animals who have been essential in maintaining the food chain in an ecosystem that existed before humans drew a border through it.

, “More than 100 animals that are listed as threatened, endangered or candidates for such status under the Endangered Species Act from coast to coast could potentially be impacted by Trump’s proposal.” In addition to those mentioned above, among these animals are migratory birds. With the 30 foot wall in place, it will make it difficult for birds to migrate properly which will, in turn, affect the reproduction of the birds that are in the vicinity and may lead to more endangered animals, further weakening the ecosystems that we all depend on for our wellbeing. “The new sections of fence under contract are slated for the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and will cut right through a federal wildlife refuge, a state park, Native American gravesites, and the National Butterfly Center. Conservationists and wildlife managers consider this region to be one of the most ecologically valuable areas on the border.” With the blatant disregard of those who reside there – humans, ancestors, and animals – it is important that this is talked about at least in our community if it is not going to recognized by the President. However, to make a change that is generational it first has to be acknowledged by our President. This barrier will prevent animals from accessing food and water, disrupt migration and reproduction, and change the way animals interact with each other, forcing  adaptation to survive. Adaptation is a consistent part of life for human and nonhuman inhabitants of this planet, but we have the power to make decisions that support life rather than force a fight for survival.

The building of the border wall will be detrimental to all species and have an almost horrific domino effect to all animals and will, in turn, hurt humans as well, as our own well-being depends on thriving ecosystems. Much like national geographic suggests from this list of ways the border wall could disrupt the environment, it shows that this one action is contingent to various aspects of the environment. Check out the link below!
