We need a planet to live on!
For 4 years, some Rotarians have been educating each other about the peril of nuclear weapons and the urgent need to dismantle all of them. It is not only urgent but possible. Under President Reagan and Soviet Chairman Gorbachev dismantled 50,00 nuclear weapons. Rotarians took the lead in creating a United Nations where the first resolution of the Rotarian President of the General Assembly was to address the question of nuclear weapons. Rotarians, the world, is still working on that. Rotary has divested Rotary from nuclear weapons. Rotary can do more. We continue to educate ourselves and each other through the Rotary Satellite Club WORLD with that specific mission.
Plant a Pocket of Prairie
350 third graders in 8 schools and 16 classrooms received a growing prairie flower. We collaborated with Donahues GreSoil and water to provide a book and teach children about the value of pollinators. We provided fact sheets in Somali, Spanish or English so each student could take home on in the language spoken in the home.

Helping your town ELECTRIFY to Protect our Environment
Our Northfield Rotary Club & Climate Action Team are working with other local partners to educate everyone on the benefits available to households in the IRA bill. This is the biggest climate bill in US history and can truly help low- and middle-income families weatherize and electrify their homes and cars. This will save energy, save money, and help protect our environment.
