Have Your Club Do Something for the Environment

It could be as simple as planting a tree. Another idea is to plan a campaign to encourage people in your city to recycle paper, glass, metal and plastic. Or you could invite someone from the UNL College of Agriculture to address your club about regenerative agriculture.
