LR 294, the resolution written by students at Prairie Hill Learning Center concerning human caused effects on climate, was heard by the Legislature’s Natural Resources Committee on Feb. 20. There it sits yet!
“LR 294 is an official acknowledgement of scientific information declaring climate changes and predicting further changes and devastation in the climate and economy of Nebraska, particularly for the agricultural sector.
“LR 294 would mandate the State of Nebraska to create an action plan to combat the climate and ecological crisis in process.”
(The full text of the resolution can be found on the Nebraska Legislature website.)
