A high school student from Solana Beach, co-founded the student-led environmental nonprofit Go Greenish to address climate issues in coastal San Diego. Inspired by local climate threats like fires and bluff collapses, Crocker advocates for student involvement in sustainability efforts. Go Greenish collaborates with schools across California to push for greener practices, with a mission to educate leaders and drive tangible change.
