Hoosier Environmental Council

About Us

The Hoosier Environmental Council, founded in 1983, is Indiana`s largest state-wide environmental organization. HEC has been a leader in bringing visibility to such serious environmental challenges as mercury pollution and power plant waste. Over its twenty-five years, HEC has also succeeded in translating its educational efforts into environmental gains, with forest, groundwater and lake protection as part of its legacy.

Vision
We aim to set a new path for Indiana, where the people of our state embrace practices and policies that dramatically reduce the footprint of industry, commerce and agriculture on the environment. Following this path, Indiana will ascend to new heights in our public health, economic well-being, and in our preservation of nature for generations to come.

Mission
We aim to address Indiana’s environmental challenges through education and advocacy. We are guided by science, inspired by the ties between nature and humanity, and led to success through partnerships.
