4-H Quick Tips
It is thought that three changes in how we live can have the biggest impact on climate change. One is the use of wind power. The second is the use of solar power. And the third is eating locally grown foods, How far is your lunch shipped before you eat it. 4-H has a project area that focuses in all three diciplines. Call 782-8953 for more info.
