Industrial Scale Livestock Operations
Help HEC and our partners pass needed financial assurance policy for CAFOs.   This will ensure that polluting industrial hog and dairy operations pay for the costs for clean-up themselves, rather than the community and taxpayers at large.

Farmers Markets and Local Foods
Let your dollars speak for themselves.  Shop at farmers markets and local food grocers to support Indiana farms.  Buying local will not only protect you from unsafe food and farming practices, it will benefit Indiana’s economy.  If every person in Indiana spent just 10% of their food budget on local food, we could add more than $1.4 billion to Indiana’s economy.
When you buy food (especially meat) read the labels.  Look for meat and other animal products that are cage-free, grass-fed, organic, free-range, and hormone-free.
Check our Resources section for information on farmers markets and local foods from our allies.

Waterway Pollution
We cannot fix a problem until we find it.  Help HEC document pollution sources by becoming a Water Monitoring Volunteer.  For more information about volunteering, please contact Falon at ffrench@hecweb.org.
