Sterling Alumni take their educations far and wide and we are immensely proud of the work they do as environmental stewards and citizens of the world. Michael Seamans ’02 recently returned from Sierra Leone where he experienced the Ebola epidemic first hand. We found his photography published on Bangor Daily News along with a really interesting interview. We suggest you give it a read.

Sterling acknowledges that the land on which we gather—places now known as Vermont and Kentucky—are the traditional and unceded territories of several indigenous peoples: the Abenaki in the North and the Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Osage people to the South. We also learn in-and-from a range of landscapes that belong to other indigenous peoples.
As we seek deep reciprocal relationships with nature, we respect and honor the place-based and cultural wisdom of indigenous ancestors and contemporaries. Words of acknowledgement and intention are just a first step. We must match them with acts of respect and repair.

Food waste isn't good anywhere, but food waste on farms (i.e., food loss) is a major missed opportunity. Excess food production yields environmental harms and represents missed opportunities for farm viability, community resilience, and nourished bodies.

Just an example of the sweet rides 🚲 you'll see around campus. There is a small fleet of Green Bikes that anyone in the Sterling Community can use for intercampus transportation. Currently, we have about 20 bicycles which are maintained by students through the Work Program. https://t.co/chaXOEPyA2
