Letter from the Editor
Going green. We’ve all heard the concept, but do we really know what it means? I’ll be the first to admit that turning off my laptop when I wasn’t using it or taking a bite into a piece of locally-raised chicken was the extent of my knowledge when we started working on this issue of Stem. But when I recently found myself on one of Metro Transit’s 170 hybrid buses, I realized that the era of green is so much larger than the small and easy choices we can make in our daily living.
People, politics and the culture of green living are just a few of the things that Stem magazine explores. Environmentalism is something that encompasses all facets of life, and in Stem, you’ll find that anything is possible, whether it’s planning an eco-friendly wedding or learning how college campuses have taken environmental responsibility into their own hands. The Twin Cities metro area has been actively seeking out greener solutions, too.
Being green isn’t the latest fad. It’s about being proactive in your community and keeping those issues close to your heart. It is our hope that after you read Stem, you can be a little more educated on eco-friendly living and that we can eliminate that often negative connotation of a “tree hugger.” We’re at a critical time with these issues and it’s up to our generation to make a change. Whether we are entering college, graduating from college or just old enough to understand the power of “green,” we have a responsibility to be leaders of these ever-present environmental issues. They aren’t something we can ignore.
