University of Minnesota's Reuse Program aims to prevent waste
The University of Minnesota campus is vast. There are 250 buildings and they generate a lot of waste. Because of that, the university developed the Reuse Program to keep unwanted furniture, supplies and fixtures out of the waste stream. Instead, these items are loaded into a warehouse and twice a week the doors open for the public to shop. The best way to see what?s in the warehouse from week to week is to follow along on the University of Minnesota Reuse Program Facebook page. The warehouse is open on Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

St. Paul bird sanctuary takes in captive parrots
An organization in St. Paul is dedicated to providing sanctuary for unwanted parrots. In fact, since its founding in 1999, MAARS has given refuge and medical care to 1,500 birds. They have a big flock living freely in their unmarked two-story building. At any given time, roughly 85 parrots are living at the sanctuary. The organization is run by volunteers who tend to the daily needs of the flock. MAARS says although the birds are beautiful and entertaining, they can be very difficult and demanding in captivity.

Urban farm grows fresh greens for restaurants, residents
Restaurants looking for locally-grown, fresh produce during the winter months must turn to a different type of farm, one in which the complete growing system is in a climate-controlled box. A farm in Shoreview, Frisk Fra Boksen (Fresh from the Box) uses that model. Their 320-square-foot shipping container can grow the same amount of greens you?d need 3.2 acres of traditional farmland to produce. Owners Barb and Chris Glasoe utilize vertical farming in a climate-controlled environment and sell to residents and many local restaurants. Demand is so high, they?re considering buying another container farm.
