Wilderness First Aid Training. On March 5th and 6th from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm there will be a training to become certified in wilderness first aid at Luther College. Sponsored by the Wilderness Medical Institute, this is a great chance to learn how to respond to emergencies when out and about. Whether you enjoy the occasional hike, or your interests lie in back country adventures, being certified in wilderness first aid is practical and important for your own safety and others. This certification can also be helpful when applying to certain jobs, such as a summer camp counselor. For questions about the registration fee, or to sign up contact Emily Neal. |
| Composting Beyond The Caf |
 Commit to Composting. Do you find yourself throwing away banana peels or apples cores that you know are compostable? Now is the time to find places on campus that you can compost such material. While composting leftovers from meals in the Caf is an important step, you can take composting beyond the Caf. There are several recycle receptacles in Valders, as well several residence halls that have composting systems. If you or your residence would like a container for compostable material for your room, contact Elena Anderson. |

Kristina Johnson
Student Gardener and Caf To Community Worker |
Kristina is a sophomore Environmental Studies Major.
As a student sustainability worker she works in the Luther College Gardens and organizes volunteers as well as delivering food for the Luther College Cafeteria to Community Program. Kristina thinks that working with sustainability is important because "It allows the Cafeteria to use locally sourced produce." She also says that "Packaging left-over food from the Cafeteria to redistribute to the food pantry is important because it allows people who are in need to obtain a nutritious meal, while at the same time, it reduces the amount of food that goes to the landfill." Kristina
enjoys working with sustainability at Luther because of the people. "Like many things at Luther, there is really a sense of community in the Sustainability department. I feel as though both the professors, the staff, and my fellow peers, really make an effort to build up both each other, and the Luther College campus in general."
