Mission: Kent Environmental Council  is a member-funded, volunteer, nonprofit organization promoting a livable, sustainable environment through advocacy, education, and networking since 1970.

As an advocate, KEC supports measures and initiatives that support a livable, sustainable environment. As educators, KEC asks questions and starts conversations about environmental issues. As engaged citizens, KEC works with stakeholders and policy-makers in the development of environmentally sound and sustainable public policies. And as part of a strong network, we connect with like-minded groups for more effective regional planning and environmental action.

Our philosophy is based on the beliefs:

• Environmental systems in local communities and throughout the world are in danger of being irreparably damaged by human activities.
• Humans are capable of learning and changing their behaviors.
• There is still time to mend our ways and be responsible stewards of the environment.
• By acting locally we can make a difference.

for Kent, Portage County, and beyond.
