Environmentalism is not a partisan issue

Posted on February 2, 2017 by Liam Nuhring

The state of environmentalism in the United States, as well as abroad, has reached a crucial crossroads.

Happy end of the school year, Cobbers! Most of the articles I have written this year have tried to tackle the question of what good action towards becoming a sustainable society means.

Ronald Offutt and Toxic Taters

Posted on October 1, 2015September 30, 2015 by Erica Bjelland

Do you like McDonald’s french fries? Do you like the Offutt School of Business? Do you like Minnesota farmers? I hope you answered yes to at least one of those questions. Though the scope of those three things seems pretty broad, there is a significant correlation between them that should be noticed. So, if you…

Posted on January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 by Kelly T. Knutson

The complexities of studying the environment Perplexing and thought-provoking, environmental studies is an intricate interdisciplinary subject, in which varies in methods and beliefs on how to tackle these sometimes daunting issues.

Exploding the truth behind mountaintop removal

Posted on October 16, 2013October 15, 2013 by Kelly T. Knutson

Saving the Appalachian Mountains From the faucet a mucky sludge of toxin-filled water dispenses. No one can shower for extended periods of time, and water is only drunk from a bottle. The land is transformed completely, wildlife is scarce and the next dynamite blow could take away the place I call home.  Illness has risen…

Technology: Dividing humanity from nature?

Posted on September 18, 2013September 18, 2013 by Kelly T. Knutson

Disconnection from our roots can lead individuals to become ecologically illiterate. We occupy, consume and ruin the soil beneath our feet. Concrete and technology have become our niche, and human society has become selfish. Our latest worries are consumed by our looks, how many likes or favorites our posts receive, and how many material objects…

Keystone politics

Posted on March 16, 2012March 15, 2012 by Matt Hansen

Whenever gas prices skyrocket, Americans suddenly become interested in our country’s dependence on foreign fossil fuels. A dramatic price jump is enough to force families to reconsider their taking separate cars to work and school or an afternoon run to Starbucks.
