Environmental Caucus

Did you know that Florida is home to one of the world's largest aquifers, but that it's depleting every day? The UFCD Environmental Caucus seeks to inform the student body about the issues that currently affect our environment. The caucus has partnered with NextGen Climate, petitioned for better treatment of our environment, and traveled to the local springs.

2019-2020 CAUCUS CHAIRS

Franchesca Linares and Kyla Kulling

Franchesca Linares

I'm a third year chemistry major originally from Broward County. I am extremely passionate about environmental policy, as we don't have a 'backup' Earth. I especially love to talk about water quality, air pollution and have done work with aerosol research. I hope to spread awareness about local environmental issues, such as the water quality in the nearby springs.

Kyla Kulling

I’m a second year political science and sustainability studies major. I am super passionate about helping our environment through environmental policy change. This year I hope to spread awareness about the current environmental problems we are facing and get people inspired to try and make a change.
