Environment & Sustainability
Macalester students get involved in many different areas of environmental stewardship, advocacy and activism, both on campus and throughout the Twin Cities area. Some of our partner organizations work on protection of natural areas and resources in Minnesota, while others are more focused on environmental education and farming. Still others center their work on climate justice or environmental justice issues that disproportionately impact low-income communities and communities of color in the Twin Cities. Scroll to learn more about some climate and environmental justice issues facing the Twin Cities, and ways to get involved in environmental work in many different arenas.
