Join us to launch ISAIAH’s statewide Climate Justice platform in Northfield! At an event on Tuesday January 16th, at First United Church of Christ from 10:30a.m. – 12:00p.m., we will be announcing to elected leaders that Climate Justice is linked to Racial and Economic Equity. Over 100 faith leaders, community members, and college students are announcing that we are a diverse coalition with one agenda. We will be announcing our support for a 50% Clean Energy MN by 2030. This goal is doable. We can accomplish it together, and it is the next faithful step for us to take to together as a state.

Northfield Area – Bird City
We will be convening the second Northfield Area – Bird City meeting on Thursday, February 11th from 5:15-6:30pm at Just Food Co-op. Together, residents, groups and officials improve habitat in the community, reduce threats to birds, and engage people to promote increased interest in and access to nature. Because of your work in the community it would be great to hear your ideas as we work together on moving this initiative forward. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact South Metro Community Coordinator Avery Hildebrand with Conservation Minnesota and Audubon Minnesota.
Ole Thrift Shop
Founded in May 2013, the Ole Thrift Shop is a student-led business committed to increasing the sustainability of St. Olaf College by extending the life-cycle of goods that would normally be discarded.
We are dedicated to empowering students with the knowledge of how their purchasing choices can be both environmentally conscious and economical, and aim to establish responsible consumerism as a practice that is continued by students throughout their lifetime.
Ole Thrift Shop collects gently-used goods on St. Olaf campus for a week during May. During the next school year Ole Thrift Shop holds sales open to the Northfield Community in order to recycle these goods.
