Perhaps one of the goals will be reducing carbon emissions in Northfield. Ross Griff:

Has there been a similar effort here in Northfield? I see in today’s Strib South Blog
http://www.startribune.com/blogs/south/?p=13
that “Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley have already signed on to the U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection agreement, which has the stated goal of reducing carbon emissions in their communities.”

Has there been a similar effort here in Northfield?

St. Olaf is trying to become the greenest campus in the country. Turbine, composter, Stogrow etc. Pete Sandberg said they could put up more turbines in the future. I don't know if they are considering it, but the option is there if needed. I think Jim Farrell may be writing a book about the greening of the campus. great video of the turbine construction.

As a carleton student, it has been really exciting to see what they're doing.
