The People & the Environment Class had a blast at the Sustainability Challenge at the University of Minnesota Morris on November 15. Students toured several sites to learn more about making rural communities stronger with energy independence. Joining a group of over 150 students from 8 different counties, our students got a close-up look at a wind turbine, solar panels, a prototype battery, and much more. It was a great experience!
