To make these bottles manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil.  And only one out of six bottles make it into a recycling bin. One recycled plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours. But it’s not just about good sustainable practices; it’s also about education. “Don’t consume your

situation like Darfur is occurring, Pertnoy said. “Begin with small steps, and it can have a collective impact.” Kimenyera, Pertnoy and Kleiman all agreed Thursday evening that education was key to changing the events that lead to an act of genocide. Also, Kleiman added, “get to know the people around you.” That advice was echoed at the Scandinavian Center about 12 hours later on Friday, as Carl Wilkens, the only American to remain in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide that claimed 1 million lives in three

interview he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do when he arrived at PLU, except to follow in the footsteps of his hero, Albert Schweitzer, the German philosopher, doctor and humanitarian who did groundbreaking health work in Africa. During that 2006 interview, the lanky, 6-foot, 7-inch Foege, credited much of his success with the help of others, and his time at PLU. “It’s such a nice place to get an education,” he said. “People who go there do not appreciate how good it really is. “I went to the UW

I couldn’t have done it without an incredible campaign team, a supportive partner, my parents and sister, and many, many friends, new and old, who propped me up along the way. It was really, really important for me to have a support group of other women running to bounce ideas and frustration off of. “Everyone deserves access to an education, a good job, and a

That felt really awful.”Serving during the pandemic Chell made it back home to South Dakota safely. But she found it difficult to hunker down as many were doing to ride
