genCLEO FSU successfully passed a Climate Emergency Resolution through Leon County! While holding our elected officials accountable, we are working this semester on increasing volunteer recruitment, engagement, and retention, and continue growing our membership from 80 to 850. We are also aiming to give 5 educational presentations in high schools in Leon County. Lastly, our long-term campaign goal is to research and uncover the areas of improvement within Tallahassee's City Bus System and explore the potential and public opinion of solar panels on bus stops.
