Practicing Sustainability
While people around the country are increasingly discussing the importance of sustainability in their communities, some organizations around the Coulee Region are actually practicing what they preach. We talk with Luther College professor of religion Jim Martin-Schramm about the Decorah, Iowa college’s goal to be carbon neutral by 2030. Martin-Schramm specializes in environmental ethics and coordinates the college’s sustainability programs.
We also visit with Tom Thompson, the Sustainability Coordinator for Gundersen Lutheran, in La Crosse, about the health system’s goal of being energy independent by 2014.
