Little school on the prairie: How keeping school land wild can combat climate change
A compact corner of land sprawls within a sea of Nebraska farmland, and Prairie Heights Community School claims ownership. However, no structures stand on the land; it is completely undeveloped. This school district is pioneering a revolutionary approach to climate change mitigation: safeguarding undeveloped school lands rather than selling them for development. Research shows that preserving these lands can make a significant impact on carbon capture, benefiting both the school district and the planet.
