Where do Nebraskans express who they are and what they believe and do about climate change? On The Do Point. The Do Point is where activists and academics, entrepreneurs and executives, politicians and pastors, students and seniors answer these questions, and more. It’s where to find real conversations with climate skeptics. Where the point is – above all – to build a more connected, informed, and inspired Nebraska climate community.
