The goal with the greatest concern in my community is climate action. This is because climate change has affected us greatly, as the weather created from it has done a lot of damage to the surrounding areas. In addition to this, in order to ensure our future, climate change must be addressed so that people can still do what they want to do in the future.

Reduced Inequalities I believe to be the most important for my community in North Omaha and the greater Omaha area. Omaha has a lot of inequality, with some very affluent neighborhoods, and some very poor. If this wealth were more evenly distributed, many of the challenges facing people in Omaha would be solved, or be much easier to solve. There is not a lack of resources, but an unequitable distribution of those resources.

I think I'd have to go with reducing inequality, specifically because my community is shockingly white. Slowly but surely, it is beginning to even out, but it's still not a great balance.

I think the biggest concern in the community would be affordable and clean energy, as theres a lot of negative effects that our energy produces. I believe as a community we dont use a lot of clean energy and theres a lot of change that could be made.

I think the greatest concern would be having affordable and clean energy because it is important to the environment that we start using more clean energy. We are using up so much energy and we need to conserve it and use more renewable energy
