However difficult the terrain has been for America's environment in 2017, the Hoosier Environmental Council is unrelentingly optimistic and determined.  We forged a trail of victories in 2017 and are prepared to navigate the 2018 Indiana General Assembly, which begins in less than a week, with confidence and skill.

HEC has mapped out a

legislative plan for 2018

-- which aims to make progress for our air & water, for solar energy, for our wilderness areas, for a sustainable future for agriculture, and for our very democracy (through redistricting reform).

The journey will be challenging, but that journey becomes all the more successful when we are joined by more & more caring people like you: 

Join us and your gift to HEC will be matched dollar-for-dollar until midnight, December 31st!

As our Executive Director remarked in a candid yet uplifting  speech (which we've shared below), "Great societies do not arise from nowhere, but are developed by inspiring, thoughtful, and determined choices." That  perspective captures HEC's spirit as we head into 2018.  We cannot simply hope that Indiana's environment will get better. Rather we need to make intentional choices -- daily, weekly, and monthly -- to forge a more positive future. One great choice that you can make is to join us on our journey to a truly sustainable future for Indiana: please make an end-of-year gift to HEC, and your generosity will be doubled, thanks to the Efroymson Family Fund!
