Susty Saints

This site was created to provide inspiration, explanation, and motivation for anyone interested in sustainability. We share sustainable events and initiatives that are happening on St. Scholastica's campus and within the Duluth community as a form of communication that allows us to spread our passion for sustainability with you. We hope that this site can serve as a means of assistance to become a more sustainable member of our community. Join the fun of making our world a better place! To stay up to date on our events and happenings, follow us on instagram @sustysaints

Meet your Susty Saints

We are the ones who who sometimes smell like compost; the ones who send you emails asking for random things such as avocado pits and used yogurt containers; the ones who can always find a purpose for cardboard; and the ones who are seemingly obsessed with tea. Sometimes it looks like a bomb went off in our office and that we are hard core hoarders, and despite all of these things that make us unique, and to some, somewhat strange, we are your susty saints who work to promote sustainability on campus with a strong passion for protecting our environment and bringing social justice to those around us.
