The Eugene Sustainability Commission's Education and Outreach Committee convened to discuss strategies for community engagement and outreach events focused on sustainability. Key topics included planning for tabling at neighborhood association events and larger community gatherings such as the Reimagine Earth Day event, with an emphasis on selecting events that are manageable in scope and align with the commission's goals. The committee also deliberated on organizing panels featuring youth and business perspectives on climate action, aiming to schedule these for upcoming meetings and develop targeted questions to guide discussions.
