East Central Solid Waste Commission (ECSWC) proposes to add 1.7 million cubic yards of MSW capacity to their landfill near Mora, Minnesota, which requires an environmental impact statement.
In collaboration with other state agencies, local governments, and Tribal Nations, the MPCA will distribute $200 million over the next five years to cut climate pollution from our food systems through the climate-smart food systems (CSFS) initiative. A portion of these funds will help farmers across Minnesota adopt climate-friendly practices.
A recent $1 million MPCA grant round will fund projects focused on waste reduction and reuse. To invest in projects that will continue to offer benefits to Minnesotans well into the future, this grant round prioritized proposals that would replace single-use items with reusables or help build a trained repair workforce in Minnesota.
