Twenty-three public high schools, colleges and universities across Minnesota are receiving grants for projects designed to cut their carbon footprints.

About $200,000 in grants from the Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon Project will be split among the various projects. The projects range from installing energy efficient lighting or renewable solar thermal systems to increasing recycling and composting.

Funding for the grants is from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. It's a permanent fund designed to help protect and conserve the state's natural resources.

Schools from Bemidji to Winona received grants for their projects.
