The system regulates the school temperature by harnessing the earth’s natural heat as energy to keep the building warm in the winter + cool in the summer.
It’s a cheaper way to heat/cool the school, doesn’t tie them to the ups and downs of a global oil/gas market and is clean, American-made energy.

Two of Winona’s public elementary schools installed something great. It’s nerdy, so bear with me…

Just let women talk to their own doctors and make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care.
Even though OBGYNs and medical researchers agree it’s safe to prescribe via telehealth and deliver via mail!
Even under the now-halted FDA policy, patients still had to talk to their provider before getting medication for an abortion.
This just bans telehealth appointments because anti-choice politicians want to make it as inconvenient and difficult as possible to get mifepristone.
We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further.
Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.
Minnesota and countless other states have proven how we can safely decriminalize and regulate the cannabis industry. Long overdue for the federal government to take a page out of that playbook.

Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a devastating bill that will undo protections for the Boundary Waters. Listen to this feature on NPR's All Things Considered featuring Explorers Amy and Dave Freemans and @smith.senate.gov discussing what this means for the wilderness.

A good time for a reminder that locking people up for low level marijuana offenses doesn’t solve anything and our federal laws need to catch up with the times
The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now. We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.
Losing hope is exactly what they want us to do. While the vote against the Boundary Waters is fresh on our minds, the work continues.
Headed to Greater Minnesota now to keep up the fight. We have so much to do to tackle corporate greed in areas like housing and health care.
Do not lose hope.
I'm about to deliver my closing remarks in opposition to a measure that would allow toxic copper-nickel sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters.
Tune in.
Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep.
Stay tuned.
Save the Boundary Waters.
I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters.
Not this mine. Not this place.
70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters.
The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.

This is not a drill: The Senate is poised to blow up Boundary Waters mining protections, columnist Jill Burcum writes.
