The blog covers issues broadly related to sustainability in Minnesota and the world both from an environmental perspective and from an interpersonal perspective. It also covers issues related to mycology (the study of fungi) with a specific emphasis on the interaction with fungal organisms and buildings.
Solar panels on the West Bank of the Twin Cities Campus at the U of Minnesota - N. Carlson
One of the criticisms of solar power is that it takes up arable land and makes it unusable for crops. See a previous post on solar panels in agriculture.

The elevated solar panels on the left provide cover for vehicles enhancing the value of the parking lot without taking up significant amount of space.
