Our Focus Areas
Renewable Energy
In the face of climate change, we strive to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Waste Reduction
We see the world filling up with trash and are working towards a solution. Sustainable Tallahassee helps you reduce your waste with tips & tricks that you can incorporate in your everyday life.
Transportation
Congested highways are bad for the environment, our health, and our mental wellbeing. We seek to educate & empower community members to utilize alternative forms of transportation.
Food
Ensuring equitable access to healthy, affordable, and nutritious food is a cornerstone of sustainable practices. We seek to collaborate with community partners to facilitate a strong local food system.
